Card Box Came Today...

Original post by coldasice217

I ordered my card box this past weekend from The Perfect Cardbox, and it arrived today.

Now, it's entirely my own fault because I opted to buy the 'Scratch and Dent' box because it was $20.00 cheaper, because I couldn't justify spending $80 on a card box especially given my current situation, and the example pics of what 'scratch and dent' means you could barely tell there was anything amiss. Like, maybe you could tell there was a knot in the wood, or a small knick, nothing major.

Well, I must have gotten the shizziest of the shizziest, because there's a giant black gash on the top part of the box, and it's definitely more severe than the examples of what to expect showed. If it was on a side panel, I wouldn't have cared as much because I could just put that side facing the back, but it's on the top right at the slot where everyone is going to see.

No returns on these boxes either.

I'm pissed, although it's half my fault for cheaping out for a $20 savings....but I need gas next week, and that's a tank, you know?

If I paint it, I'll have to paint the entire box so it matches, which is a project I didn't really want to do considering I paid for a pre-made box.

So moral of the story girls....go a little hungry one week and carpool, and go for the perfect box, not the reject.

Oh man, that stinks, but I bet it's fixable. Is your FH or dad handy at all? I'm sure a little sanding and painting would fix it right up!

That's totally what will happen too, because he told me to buy the regular one anyways for just this reason.

I'll try to take a pic of it when I get home, and hopefully some painting will work. If it was just a little scratch that would be one thing, but the black shmutz was on it and looked like it was tried to be rubbed out, which made it worse.

Oh im so sorry! So it the box all wood or does it have fabric or something on it? You can decorate it and nobody will ever notice!

What about painting the top part where the scratch is a contrasting color that compliments you wedding colors. Then you will not have to repaint the entire card box.

I ordered a scratch and dent box from them and received it about a week ago. I love it. I don't even see where it is scratched or dented. It looks perfect. I'm so sorry yours is dented. Hopefully you can sand it down a little and repaint it. Good luck.
