I forgot to mention to be sure & check the edges for sharp parts. I found some, not a lot, but I filed them with a new nail file. Don't want my babies to get hurt! :D

I'm still waiting on mine to arrive. Wish I had tracking info! It's got to be soon, though!

My shells arrived today. Two out of eight are damaged. Here's hoping they have great customer service...

:( No Bueno. I'm sorry that happened. I honestly have never had any issues so far, but I know when I called to check on the status of my order they were very helpful. Maybe shoot them an email including pics?

I will say that ridge on the green one is normal, I have several shells that have that, the tapestry however, is definitely broken.

Most of the front of the one second from the left in back was broken off. The biggest of four or five pieces is in front of it. :( There were lots of tapestry crumbles in the bag with it. They were all shipped in bags with two shells in each bag, so it's like the shell in with the tapestry was chipping that later off the entire way here.

I did email them with pictures and we're getting it figured out

I got my replacement shells today in good shape. I did switch to a different shell of the same price because I was nervous about having another one with the top layer peeling off. Just need to get them boiled now!

I'm sorry, I didn't update. I received mine the 17th. There are several beautiful new options, but no takers thus far.

Here's my big guy wearing an unpolished green turbo from Richard's. I think those were the lightest/thinnest ones in the lot. Really nice, just not shiny

I ordered 11 shells from them and they took about two weeks to arrive. They sent me an email when they had been shipped. Very well packed, all the shells were in bags wrapped in newspapers and the shells are beautiful! They are a little too big for my hermies right now (I guess I didn't measure properly!) But hopefully they will grow into them!
