Excellent job, P&C

Sorry, first image post, using imgur.

This one?

Once your photos are on any site, select the full image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose copy image location. Now paste that URL (the full web address, which should end in .jpg) into the IMG box in the reply window of the thread you're posting to.

Did they throw them all in a box with one or two "Air Pillows"......... That's how mine always arrive!....... :twisted:

 

[jpmcwjr]

Ah, I see you edited the post and got it (the photo) to show. Good show!
Dented tins that don't affect the integrity of the seal are only marginally annoying, if that.

 

[nukesimi]

Thanks jp. I was posting on my phone, I think that's why I had trouble. I've ordered from P&C for ten years, first time this happened...not a big deal. The air pillows are definitely a P&C thing. I hope they're saving a bit of money on their packaging, I'd honestly rather have beat up tobacco tins on the cheap.

They're not dented if your mind is warped.

 

[mcitinner1]

Me mind is definitely warped. Shit, the Black Frigate is working on me. Or maybe it's the War Horse Bar. :rofl:

 

[nukesimi]

Russ, plus their prices are marginally better than Smokingpipes. Whenever I go for a big order, however, mostly everything is backordered.

 

[didimauw]

My last tin was a little dented as well, but it all went into jars right away. So...jars don't dent and stuff... I refuse to complain.

 

[Briar Baron]

Just my 2c worth. Really not acceptable, shows there may be other problems in the organisation really if they are happy to send that out.
My other 1c worth is that although Smoking Pipes may be marginally dearer it is interesting that it may only be less than $1 a tin difference? So it may be $10-$11 for an average tin. Over here (Aus) we are paying nearly $US45 a tin so from my point the $1 saved is insignificant if you can get good reliable service from SP. I have used SP for nearly 7 years with only one minor hicup which was solved fairly quickly.
Life is too short to put up with service like that (of course I am including the other threads on this topic outlining lost orders, no phone support etc etc).

They provide huge sales, and to those less sensitive about the way the tin looks, it's a good deal.

 

[newbroom]

I've been getting their monthly catalog for almost 3 yrs. It seems they've focused more and more on cigars.

Our market isn't as important, obviously. More profit in sticks. Easier to 'sell'.

Pipes? Oh, yeah, they're nice, but too idiosyncratic for the masses.

It brings to mind the old mechanic's shop sign,
"Good-Cheap-Fast: Pick any two."

Did you contact them and tell them your tins are damaged?
I had a few tins dented in a large order and they shipped me replacement tins and told me to keep the dented ones.

 

[mso489]

PC got the order right and got it shipped, so hurray. They still need a shipping person who loves to protect the product, as a sport and an obsession. It's just built in. Either someone wants to do that or they don't. I wouldn't be likely to do shipping, but if I did, I would be a border collie about mummifying the items so they wouldn't suffer any blemish. My wife teases me when I send off packages.

 

[woopigpiper]

The last time I had a dented tin they replaced it immediately with no charge or return necessary. I have no idea why they don't pack them with something better, but at least they replaced my tins.

 

[buroak]

They have always made such problems right for me. I am sure they will take care of you, too.

 

[jpmcwjr]

The top two tins showing dents are not damaged, except for aesthetics. If you collect tins, get some new ones. Otherwise, smoke now or in five years. Or jar up.
If the round tins are dented, they probably are defective as to seal. Very different materials and construction.

Dented tobacco never smokes quite right. It should be sent to forum members for proper disposal.

Finally, a voice of reason.
