Chreees Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The guy sent me a link previewing his website... http://test2.e-alora.com/default.aspx He should put a disclaimer at the top: "Lucky purchases come with free heart attack upon arrival of your broken vase." Guy gets what he deserves if he's gonna keep doing shitty packaging jobs like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe they aren't in Turkey. Maybe they are a rare thing there? Lulz. I'm serious though... Why can't Turks pack worth a shit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 NS packs a lot better than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoozle Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Maybe they aren't in Turkey. Maybe they are a rare thing there? Lulz. I'm serious though... Why can't Turks pack worth a shit?? Day old news papers are cheap everywhere. Maybe they assume their products are so awesome that they can't be destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 NS uses old newspaper and styrofoam blocks to make sure stuff doesn't rattle too much. Also the Elmas boxes they ship in are sturdier than the bargain bin box I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassouni Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 So it showed up yesterday, just 9 days after it was shipped. Much better packaging - stronger feeling box, more layers of bubble wrap, newspaper padding, a LOT more tape - no rattling, and now I have a beautiful turquoise crystal vase! Pictures when I have more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbat89 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 based on what i read here and with chree's help/experience as well as Hassouni's experience, i have decided to go ahead and purchase the 618 look a like. I have spoken to Bora (turkeysonline), and voiced my concern's with the tray lean and crooked stem end piece. i pleaded with him (professionally) for a near perfect one, like the one stuie has received. I also told him to package it really well.... Will update if anyone is interested... i also agree with that the tokel 618 version looks better than the elmas... the 628, not so much.

Hassouni Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 The more you get, the less the incremental additional shipping cost is. I don't remember off the top of my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
