blue_soaringI require advice.
I bought a very nice present for a very nice person whose birthday occurs this year (vague! \o/). A limited print of some lovely original artwork, despite the cardboard and the warnings the artist put on the package, it arrived bent, with one noticeable crease about the size of a pinky nail, and two dings along the bottom edge. I think a frame will take care of the slight bends in it, but... I'm not happy. It's not shiny and new and pristine, and it's supposed to be a present. Giftee will not mind so much, because Giftee is stupidly easy-going, but, but...
Not happy.
So pretty much all I'm wondering, as someone who hasn't been in this situation before but would like to make this displeasure known without being a) a total ass and b) completely ignored, what some of your thoughts and opinions would be on an equitable resolution?
