I have had an excessive amount of product adjustments in the last 30 days, so many that it feels like that is the only thing I am consistently working in my business. I have had at least 16 that I know of and most of them have been for stoneware purchased this year:mad: Anyone else had this problem?? Or am I just lucky?
Almost everyone with a broken stone has called and told me that they were using it for the first or second time, heard a loud pop went to check on it and it was cracked in half. Including a DCB in the microwave!! I am sending that one in for her because it was just outside of 30 days.
 
had 2 DCBs where the lids did not fit snuggly lately but not a lot of breaking. Sorry! Are you doing more shows. I know that when my show schedule increases so do the number of adjustments because I am selling more
 
I noticed that too, but I"ve also been doing more shows, so I think it just comes with the territory. It's kind of a drag, but customers are usually so glad we can get something replaced for them.
