[QUOTE="TheOLdGuy, post: 120054, member: 878"]Add my condolences. Sorry about that. Don't ask me how those originate. Possibly during manufacturing.. This note is in every package of glass leaving my domicile - Large lettering and red. [CENTER][B][SIZE=3]IMPORTANT![/SIZE] [B][SIZE=3]READ BEFORE OPENING FURTHER.[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=3][I]If this package has been in the cold or extreme heat allow it to return to room temperature[/I] [I]before unwrapping.[/I] A quick change in temperature can break glass and other fragile items. Styrofoam and bubble wrap are for shock absorption and insulation. [/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] [SIZE=4]But the real reason for this posting. Just in case you don't know it.................... I found out the hard way. If you have any reason at all to suspect a stress line [U]do not ship it by air.[/U] The cargo section is not pressurized and can break apart any glass having one.
