Man that blows. You would think that with how old and expensive they are they would be treated better.
I returned one to this seller recently and I can't imagine that being a very pleasant experience for him, since I charged back for return shipping, as well (via UPS nonetheless). Sad to see that he's not learning, yet he seems to be moving old, fragile stones, mostly. The reason I returned that one was not because it shattered, but because it was below average, although it looked promising initially.It blows my mind how some people ship stones.
Slurry stones and flakes are much cheaper than a full sized stone though. I would return it, because the loss would be too significant.I returned one to this seller recently and I can't imagine that being a very pleasant experience for him, since I charged back for return shipping, as well (via UPS nonetheless).

With these two, I am having a really hard time letting them go, because they are just so good. Not the first time it's happened, too. It's OK, really.. There's always use for good abrasive material, even the flakes will possibly serve well as finger stones, or ground to dust for some polishing paste. I'm fairly certain I'll manage to still get a serviceable hone and maybe a couple of slurry stones from that one.

Richie, don't worry about it brother, this is not a situation that calls for public shaming. I chose to buy this knowing what it is, just as I'm choosing to keep them, knowing that the seller would reimburse me 100%. All on me.Who is the seller so we can avoid something like this. Terrible!

You make a fine point.Sometimes when it’s so egregious, I suspect they dropped the stone and broke it then listed it with old pictures and are trying to commit mail fraud via damaged in shipping insurance claim. I mean what guy who’s ever sold a stone before actually thinks you can buddy wrap stones together like that?

This isn't the only forum I'm on related to sharpening. Easier to take screenahots of pics then pull them out and take actual pics. I should've did that though, would cause less confusion.Kept as records of the stamps?
