Who are the Post Office kidding?...

I ordered some more nickel silver to finish the bodywork of a loco model and eventually, 4 days late, it arrived in a Royal Mail clear bag saying it had got damaged coming from abroad!  Even though the envelope in which it started its journey had a Birmingham address on the back.  It was buckled, rippled, dented, curved two ways and had been heavily hit on the end.

This supposed to be delivered flat and smooth.

This crap is what it arrived IN, with the PO trying to wriggle out of any responsibility. Fortunately the company said it started off in Birmingham and have assured us of a a replacement.

Meantime, I can apply my lovely English wheel to it and take all the dents and ripples out.  They don't need to know that!
