The packaging of the balls, I had ordered a total of 2 pieces, but still leaves a lot left to be desired. The ball was in a relatively unstable and sometimes damaged the box in which she had several centimeters clearance to separate only with a small piece of foam verrutschenden presentation pedestal. By the centrifugal forces during transport, there is a risk that the glass ball destroyed the carton and emerging therefrom. The same case also in the second I ordered glass ball.
Since the two labile product boxes were delivered in a larger shipping box with airspace between them, there was a danger that both balls break the packaging and collide with each other. Possible consequences as damage, including through contacts with the presentation pedestals, can not be excluded. Here not occurred fortunately, but the probability is likely at some point "slam".
After I released the ball (s) with soapy water gently from remnants of polish (black solid streaks), they are available to me without qualitative limitations.
For the crystal ball I give at least 5 star that gets strong for improvement packaging 3 stars and although I find the packaging concern, I would single glass beads order at any time and give this product a strong buy recommendation! If the worst case times but damage occur, you can see the goods here at Amazon so easily give back.
