That's suck . I'd be torn to file w/ the PO (if you bought insurance) b/c I think they take the item away

I'm amazed at how ppl treat the MSFs given all the horror stories of them being broken from not packaging right. Shipping in the priority boxes filled w/ peanuts & several layers of bubble wrap should be used....although it reminds me of in elementary when we had to make egg "parachutes" and drop our eggs from progressively higher distances to see who won. The box w/ twinkies in it for cushioning was the only one that made it from the roof (our school was 2 stories high). i don't recommend twinkies though.

I looked at your pics, I wouldn't grind it up for the sifter just yet. Maybe get a tupperware (?) and leave it in chunks so the veining & stuff is still kinda intact & use it like ppl do the meteorites.

though i believe poor packaging of a pleasureflush resulting in it's demise is a crime (at least it is still useable though)
