While I was in NY, I bought many hair products, over $100 worth at wholesale prices. I didn't want to fly with them, for fear of leakage, so I packed them before I left and my mother told me that she would mail them out after I got home. I had also packed a coat and a few other items (which I now cannot remember what) in that box. This is 1 month ago ok.

Anyways, my mother (who I now believe is getting senile) forgot what was in there and when she went to the post office told them that no perishable or liquids were in the boxes, mailed it snail mail, and only insured it for $25. I was wondering why I never received it after 15 days had passed, so I asked my mother about this and she told me exactly how she sent it and I just knew :whyme: that something was going to go wrong.

After the run around we finally track it down. It's been held up in Texas all of this time. Now I don't know why I couldn't be told what would happen to the package then, I just called and was told that because of a leak, and the potential of it being hazzardous, they destroy it and have destroyed mine :crybaby:She asked me what was in it, and I told her many hair products and she completely sympathized with me (t'was a sista'). Then she says, well it looks like you've got it insured... you can file a claim and get reinbursed :wallbash: Everything in that box was well over $200 worth of items (including my other goods), $25 will only reimburse me for like 2 products.
:hot:

Ya'll I know that this is just material, but it is painful to know that your good hair products have been thrown into the incenerator like trash. It is very painful... my good Alter Ego garlic deep conditioner, Alter ego nequal wash, Emergencee, Keracare poo' AG Fast Food :cry3:lawd have mercy HELP!

I keep telling myself, I love my mom, I love and forgive my mom. She does not follow instruction or is perhaps getting senile, but I still love her :(

Next time your visiting take all the elastic out of her panties.
 
Ah man that is messed up. I mailed something to a member recently and they broke the bottle and some of it leaked out. Thankfully they sent it back to me but I was still pissed because the bottle was plastic so that means someone was just tossing my ish around. I am going to write fragile in bold, red letters when I send it out. I thought with the post office you pay for insurance up to a certain amount. ie for $1.30 that will cover up to $100 or so. Check into it to see if there is some way for you to get back more of your money. Q

Okay I checked and for $1.65 you are covered for .01 to $50. So assuming she paid that much you should be able to get back $50. But I don't know the rules etc. HTH Q

You're too much lol.

I know that this will pass, and never had I thought I'd feel so hurt over the death of hair product, but I feel like mourning :sad:
 
I had a member send me 20 bottles of shampoo once and she was so smart about it. She taped all the bottles shut with packing tape. I was impressed.

That's what I did though :( I made sure it was secure. It must have been the handling that could have loosened something. I doubt any of this would have happened if the fragile tape would have been added (which I should have done myself) and had it been sent priority. Could have been coupled with heat even, who knows. I know that I secured it as best I could though!

I'm going to check into this, thanks a lot!

Thanks everyone, it's nice to know that I have a safe haven to vent over something that the next person would think is so trivial.
 
awww, I'm sorry this happened to you. Everything is gonna be alright, you're mom didnt mean it :nono:. On a positive note, your hair in your siggy looks gorgeous :yep:.
 
:whyme:I completely understand. I had to throw away some new hair products the other day at airposrt security because I forgot about them and then was too late to check the bag.:wallbash:
 
I'm sooooo sorry about your loss.

Once my friend put a trash bag full of vintage clothes by the door to take them to get them dry cleaned. Mom thought it was garbage and set them out at the curb and the garbage people picked them up...
 
Dang, I would be SO sick. That really sucks :( we feel your pain, cousin

:grouphug2:
 
Energist,

If you list some of the products, I'll look in my stash and see if have some of that stuff. I think I have the Alter Ego Garlic Treatment. I can send you that (as soon as I find it). I only used it twice, so it still has alot of product left. Would this help?
 
Of all places, you know the LHCF crew will definitely sympathize. I would be upset too. Mom did not do it in malice though.

:bighug:
 
Aww... sounds like something that happened to me. I sent my first, and only, product exchange and it never got there! I wrapped that badboy up with tissue paper and taped the cap and everything. They probably destroyed it. =/
 
Energist - I'm so sorry to hear that happened :bighug:. I often have the same issues when I travel with my products.

Last time, I bought colorshowers and I was so excited to try it. Basically, I had it packed to check on the plane, but I got to the airport late and had to carry my bags on. And of course, no liquids allowed on the plane. They threw my mess out :angry2:!!! I was heated, but what could I do?

But I agree with Queeny - look into the insurance bit because I think you can get more money back.
 
I'm feeling a lot better now, thank you all so much for being so supportive and sharing your own experiences. It's good to know that I'm not alone and similar things have happened.

Oh and hot pepper, you are too kind, thanks for that offer, but it's ok. I just needed a little bit of support, because I was feeling weak, and was about to go off on my mother. I have kept myself from doing that, and it's because of you all with your smiley hugs and kind support.
