What I ordered vs what I got

My dog died at the beginning of September. I ordered one of these ornaments with ashes in for £85 after seeing the first picture on the crematoriums website. The other pictures are what I received... It’s too late to complain as it was delivered nearly 4 weeks ago days after my mum had a stroke, so I noticed it was crap but it just got bunged on a shelf. I’ve just compared it to the original pictures for the first time and realised it’s so bad it’s almost funny. It’s awful isn’t it?

I prefer the one you've got. The one with hair in it is creeping me out a bit.

SnuggyBuggy · 16/11/2020 18:59

Did they think you were getting more for your money with a bigger heart?

PeonyTruffle · 16/11/2020 19:01

The one with the hair in is a bit strange, the other pics are much nicer

kowari · 16/11/2020 19:02

The first one is creepy.

MaelyssQ · 16/11/2020 19:02

I prefer the one you have been given. The one with whiskers in it is horrible.

Spicyapple · 16/11/2020 19:02

It’s not awful awful. But different from the 1st image. Would be worth sending an email explaining your disappointment though.

Someone I know ordered a lovely chair off eBay - turns out when it arrived through the letterbox it was a dolls house chair Grin

HoneysuckIejasmine · 16/11/2020 19:03

I prefer the one you got, if you're in to that sort of thing.

whatsbinhappnin · 16/11/2020 19:04

Gah I hadn't noticed the hair in the first one!! Shock

I also prefer yours

Whatthebloodyell · 16/11/2020 19:05

I think all the photos are much of a muchness.

SnuggyBuggy · 16/11/2020 19:05

I thought it was swirls in the glass but yes that hair is really creepy.

LizaE · 16/11/2020 19:05

Was your dog a big dog, so more ashes?

ImNotMeImSomeoneElse · 16/11/2020 19:08

I looked at the first one and thought 'no wonder you aren't happy with that'

Then I read your post and realised that is the one you wanted Blush

I'm with everyone else. I think yours is the better one.

Floralnomad · 16/11/2020 19:09

I don’t think it’s that bad , neither would be to my taste.

Harrykanesrightsock · 16/11/2020 19:11

Honestly can’t see much difference. But £85 Shock

FlatFace · 16/11/2020 19:15

I understand the original might be creepy to some, but it looked well made. Ignoring the fur, the ball is cloudy; the heart is a different size, colour and place. The more I look at it the more I think a child made it Grin

Christ I really need to slow down and read things properly. I thought you had got this orb with your mothers ashes and hair in it and I was wondering how I could delicately ask if you're quite alright.

TwentyViginti · 16/11/2020 19:24

I can't see whiskers or hair?

SunshineCake · 16/11/2020 19:31

I'm not sure which is which Confused.

Alternista · 16/11/2020 19:33

I honestly couldn’t separate them for awfulness- possibly the hairy one is worse?

jessstan1 · 16/11/2020 19:33

All the pictures look very nice to me.

Changethetoner · 16/11/2020 19:33

I agree - I also don't like the cloudy globe.

pinkiepromise123 · 16/11/2020 19:36

Sorry but all 3 look slightly macabre

ODFOx · 16/11/2020 19:37

Pet ashes in a glass ball on a stand? I never knew such a thing existed!

I couldn't choose between them OP, they are both very striking in different ways.
I'm sorry that you are disappointed and about your poorly Mum.

Funnyface1 · 16/11/2020 19:37

I can't stand either of them, they're awful. I'd pay £85 for someone to take it away Grin .

Elouera · 16/11/2020 19:38

Sorry for the loss of your dog. I'm confused. Is this correct:

  • 1st pic with small, brown heart with hair is what you wanted?
  • purple and speckled, larger heart is actually the same thing and what you received?

Sorry, but I agree that the hairy, small heart is awful, and a talking point for all the wrong reasons.
