Dear Crate and Barrel

Was it THAT necessary to put little stickers on EVERY piece of glass ,china and silver? EVERY cup and saucer?? EVERY tiny glass and stem?


I especially appreciated the high-quality glue you used to make sure that the lord jesus would not even be able to remove these stickers without endless hours and 10 broken fingernails.


Thank you
Signed, I wasted three hours and should use just disposables.

Re: Dear Crate and Barrel

Those stickers are horrible to get off, it took me forever with 12 place settings of every day china (each piece with a sticker), 12 tall glasses and 12 short glasses.

Re: Dear Crate and Barrel

ugh...I hated those things..then my MIL told me to use Goo Gone. You can buy it at pretty much any drug store and it works really well.

Re: Dear Crate and Barrel

Oh my god! Same here! Although I found if I wet the sticker 99% of the time, it did slide right off.

Try wetting them (before you attempt to peel it off dry). It seemed to work for me.
