USPS broke my scuttle!
Well I purchased a gorgeous g20 scuttle from a loyal member here. At no fault to him it was broken in shipping. He packaged it well an was secured in the box. Despite the effort the mailman figured out how to break it. The damage was all located to the handle area. I was able to use some gorilla glue an put it back together. Just venting. Either way I used it today and it performed very well. Looking forward to the next shave.

Doesn't see worth the hassle. I glued it together. Doesn't leak so all is ok. Just disappointing.

They can be seriously hard on gear. They break hones occasionally too.

Sorry to hear about the breakage. It seems like the luck of the draw as I imagine that for the amount of fragile goods the various mail services move breakage is actually pretty low. Not that it makes anyone feel better when it happens to you.

It's amazing that anything arrives intact with the way things are handled. (At least in Canada, anyway.) Kinda' like luggage on a plane, I've saw it being loaded & unloaded from the plane, and you just cringe sometimes! You never know the journey some of this stuff takes. I always get insurance on my mail.
