New Horses

UPS delivered my JCPenney Stablemates today. This set was shipped from Lenexa KS, apparently, if anyone's keeping track of JCP's shipping warehouses. (*)

The packing could use some help; not sure if that's a Breyer issue or a JCP issue. The horses were in individual bags, with one strip of bubble wrap. From the bottom of the box it was bubble wrap (1 layer), 3 horses, BW, 3 horses, BW, 4 horses, BW, sheet of cardboard, poster, box catalog. And about an inch of empty space at the top. The horses aren't damaged, though. I think the plastic, which is fairly thick, keeps things from rubbing too badly.

* JCP has weird issues with stocking. If something's out of stock at the local-to-you shipping center, they don't seem to want to ship your order from another area. On at least two occasions now, I've had to ship a JCP order to my sister in Michigan because the Missouri region was sold out. It's a pain in the neck, honestly.
