Virgin Atlantic - You broke my giraffe. And then by virtue of the fact that you could break it, you said it violated your stipulation that fragile items are unacceptable as baggage, and you won't give me my $185 back. I know this might not get any attention, but posting somewhere is cathartic. by yunohavenose in reddit.com

Ok ok, so I'm hearing a lot of support for Virgin Atlantic, and not my innocent giraffe.

Yes, I respect your points about shipping it other (expensive (would have been $320 ups), international) ways, and how I should have packaged (http://imgur.com/AqJXf) it better. But what really steamed my clams, is that my UN-fragile, regular-sized baggage got damaged too, from the same flight.


I don't mind stitching this one up, and frankly I wouldn't have minded gluing the giraffe back together, if I had received both pieces of it. But it does show that special care is being taken to be ruthless with the luggage.
