Once upon a shipment....

I placed an order with Amazon Prime. It shipped the next day. I noticed it said it must be signed for. I wasn't home the day they brought it, but they left the note on the door saying to sign the back and leave on door and they would deliver the next day. I did that. The next day it never came. Then I got an email from UPS saying they had left my package at Advance Auto in my area. I was so confused. Turns out that Advance Auto in some areas are now designated drop off points. So if someone in there area is not home to receive a package that requires a signature, it goes to Advance and they hold it for 7 days. If you don't pick it up, UPS comes and gets it. Anyway, so the next day I went to Advance and got my package. It was fragile so I was a little concerned about it going so many place. I got it home and opened it up and there was packing on the top. I thought, oh good. 


I removed the packing from the top and from the sides. Turned out the packing was protecting the main box. Even better.


I opened the main box and found two smaller boxes (my item has 4 pieces to it). The extra boxing made me even happier.


Then I noticed that each of those boxes had very good packaging. 


Talking about building the supsense, I was so excited to see my item. Look at all the boxes and paper I had to go through to get to my actual item.


But my, oh my, it was well worth the wait. Isn't she an absolute beauty. The intricate pattern and the unique handles makes this one of my favorite tea for one sets that I own.


She looks nice in her new home.
