Under most circumstances I would not have bothered too much about the damage to the containers but I was asked by the vendor if he /they could have done anything more to make my transaction a better one and seeing as both tins were badly damaged so not less than £4.00 I said I would have been happier if my order had arrived intact. Whereupon they apologised and said they would send me two more to keep me as a happy customer.
China or Chatham, £4.00 or £40.00 goods should arrive in good order, especially when you are selling on eBay and asking your customers to give you five stars and good feedback.
