That's a shame, mine was quite well done. Sounds like yours has been through the wars. I did have to stick the bases back on the tins, but otherwise they were ok.beanielou said:
It was poorly packed & badly damaged.jwil said:Good news about the credit!
Glad M&S are replacing the village, annoying that it was damaged though.
The box was also very bashed in trasport.
The tins were bashed to bits

I’m on a FB foodie group, although it’s UK based there are people from all over the world on it. Apparently the MnS light up tins are going down a storm in the US 🤣
There are also people from Germany who come over here to stock up on all sorts of things and get really excited about their haul 😆I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
