I am a picker for a lighting, plumbing, and hardware store in Portland, Oregon. I need to do a quick turn around in order to keep the process moving. If you have other shades on ebay give me the titles or numbers, and I'll check them out. If you are looking for a shade send me a picture, and I would be happy to forward it to my buyers.
Please place all shade(s) and/or fixture in large bubble, bubble wrap and place in a box surrounded with Styrofoam peanuts. Please overfill with peanuts and shut the lid. SHAKE THE BOX VIOLENTLY, IF YOU FEEL OR HEAR THE
SHADE(S) AND OR FIXTURE SHIFT, THEN IT NEEDS TO BE REPACKED. THE MAIN THING IN PACKING IS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING MOVES.
If there are multiple shades please separate shades with a piece of cardboard. Please separate the metal from the glass. If metal parts come undone (finials or parts) and you know how to unscrew them or pull them apart please do this. Break down all metal parts. Broken pieces ruin a fixture.
The post office is upset with me. I have had 34 shades break because of poor packing and people thinking that newspaper is a good packing material!
Newspaper doesn't keep shades or fixtures from shifting. Please pack tight. If you have other ideas I am always willing to try alternatives.
