So get a new girdle?

BTW, was it shipped like that? What kind of packaging did the sender prepare it with? I'd seek some sort of compensation, at least for a new girdle.

How about telling us what happened so people can suggest appropriate action.

I didn't want to post the story till the seller say my emails.

It was not the seller fault. The thing was package pretty well. it was double boxed and wrapped/padded and had extra padding on top and bottom. The issue here is if it wasn't drop kicked around by the hsipper, this would NOT have happened. If they treated this damn thing with a tiny respect, they would have not had this problem.

So pissed... I wanted to cry last night.
