Actually, each glass was packed in a separate box, and all of the separate boxes were then packed in an outer box. The bowl of the glass was separated from the stem, so the box was probably dropped, rather than being poorly packed.<BR/><BR/>However, I agree that they should have shipped another glass, particularly because we bought 8 of them at 89 Euros each. They made a nice profit on the sale of 8 glasses that they could have made good on the replacement of the one glass, particularly because they picked the shipper and they failed to insure the shipment.<BR/><BR/>Your reaction to the champagne glass story I left in yesterday's comment has inspired me to share the rest of the story of the quest for the replacement champagne glass. It will take us to Rheims, center of the champagne industry, and to the street in Paris where the wholesale crystal companies are located. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, I have a full day of work to do, so I will have to return to your site in the next day or two to finish the story, if you can forgive me for leaving only this teaser at this time.Dave-CostaRicaDailyPhoto.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567583999945259422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38585102.post-2302175253786658152008-10-08T15:00:00.000+02:002008-10-08T15:00:00.000+02:00I agree with Nathalie, they are getting better eve...I agree with Nathalie, they are getting better every day.

A slightly fatigued or pensive waiter--a man of the public--having a private moment. That's Monte Carlo for you. A waiter in a suit? I do not think there is a single waiter in Boston wearing a suit. I even know some lawyers who almost never wear a suit.Ilsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055254564640587182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38585102.post-34968208797537297582008-10-08T12:58:00.000+02:002008-10-08T12:58:00.000+02:00I truly enjoy your people pictures :)I truly enjoy your people pictures :)Tanya Breesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01949602989774270159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38585102.post-63202583302769748392008-10-08T12:57:00.000+02:002008-10-08T12:57:00.000+02:00I don't imagine the ambiance where he is perched i...I don't imagine the ambiance where he is perched is the same as where he works, but what a great photo!
