Disappointing Experience with Mug Purchase from Northern Watters
I purchased a handmade mug from Northern Watters as a gift while on a cruise. After storing it safely for a couple of months, my daughter opened the gift only to discover that the mug was cracked in several places. I reached out to the store. As per the store policy, they were unwilling to do anything. I reached out to the potter, and while she offered to replace the mug, I was surprised to learn that I was expected to pay an additional $40 for shipping. It was already an extravagant purchase of $45 US dollars. Adding $40 for shipping would have made the cost even more excessive. The potter later agreed to assume this cost, but then reneged.
I feel it’s unfair to be charged extra for shipping since the mug was defective. As one can plainly see in the photos, this was a production issue, although the potter proclaimed how careful she is. If I had broken the mug, it would have been in shards. While I appreciate the offer to replace the item, I believe that the cost of shipping should be covered by the maker, considering that the mug was defective upon unboxing.
Cruisers beware!

在Northern Watters购买马克杯的糟糕体验
我在邮轮旅行中从Northern Watters购买了一个手工制作的马克杯作为礼物。在妥善保管了几个月后,我女儿打开礼物却发现杯子有几处裂痕。我联系了商店。但根据商店的规定,他们拒绝提供任何帮助。我联系了陶艺师,虽然她提出更换马克杯,但我惊讶地发现,我还需要支付40美元的运费。45美元的购买价格已经很贵了。再加上40美元的运费,运费就更加高昂了。陶艺师后来同意承担这笔费用,但后来又反悔了。
我觉得因为马克杯有缺陷就额外收取运费很不公平。从照片中可以清楚地看到,这是生产问题,尽管陶艺师声称她非常小心。如果我把马克杯打碎了,它就会变成碎片。虽然我很感激他们提供更换服务,但考虑到杯子在拆箱时就已经有缺陷,我认为运费应该由制造商承担。
