Hello!

    every summer I do consignment with boutique located in lovely summer
    areas. Over the last month I have been getting back items that did
    not sell over the summer months. 

    I am not upset that some items did not sell- I am just bummed about
    the lack of care some galleries have for work when they ship back.  I
    just received a package from a gallery that wrapped my pieces in
    tissue paper and then threw them in a lightly padded envelope.  On
    the UPS truck a few extremely heavy boxes must have been sitting on
    my package because my work came back bent and one piece was almost
    split in half.  This is the third package I have gotten back from a
    gallery shipped back this way! Usually just ear posts get bent or
    broken off but this time my jewelry came back as garbage.  I ship
    items out in boxes I don't understand why most of the consignment
    places I deal with don't ship back in boxes.  UPS, USPS and Fed Ex
    supply this stuff for free so I don't get it. 

Oh well another business loss!
thanks for letting me rant!
