    This was an odd eBay experience for me. It was the first time in several years that I wasn’t receiving the order or getting shipping updates. After contacting eBay and hearing from the seller I received updates and the order. The seller did make an effort to pack the glasses safely for shipping, however one was still broken and I feel that was probably due to rough handling despite being marked fragile.
