Default Mail order fail.

I guess there are just some things that shouldn't be mail ordered. One
being Cape Cod potato chips. I can get them in the store here. Only a few
stores sell them. But at Walmart.com, I can get much larger bags for
cheaper. I ordered some awhile back. The top two bags arrived totally open
at the top and chips all over.

Contacted Walmart. They reshipped. Got two more bags. Same thing. Split
open. Chips all over. Never again.

Now today it was Enrico's pizza sauce. Again, I can get it in the stores
here but they had it MUCH cheaper at Walmart.com. I had to order a case.
Fine.

The box arrived today but... Uh oh. Why did it smell like pizza? And sure
enough, one bottle was totally crushed. They did seal the jars all together
in plastic so the glass and sauce was contained, but I had to risk getting
cut as I fished the other 5 jars out to rinse them off. And now I need a
shower because I still smell of pizza sauce.

I don't think I'm even going to bother contacting Walmart about this. It
would be more trouble than it is worth, I think.

I have ordered things in glass before with no problem. But this time, they
did not put any cushioning between the jars. So not a good idea. But even
with the broken jar, it was still considerably cheaper than if I had
purchased locally.
