Help please, strange request mind.

So the idiot on eBay thought it a good idea just to write fragile on the box and ship it without bubble wrap.

Anyway, can't get these basins in the UK. I think they are from Spain. Bellavista óvalo.

Does anyone know how I could track one down? Google's not picking much up

They seem to be sold in Portugal but I suspect they are made in Singapore

Wow, how stupid do you have to be to not wrap that!? We don't have a 'Fragile' system here and the Post Office workers here will advise you of that if you try and send something with such a sticker on there. I wonder if that's because it was an invitation for the courier to kick it around and treat it bad?

Here's the contact form for (who I think might be?) the English distributor for Bellavista stuff:

Hi I am from Spain, if I can help you with something just tell me. It s weird but isnt it a bit expensive to order one of this? I am telling because the shipping costs
There is a distributor of this kind of stuff near home. I can ask for you if you want.

Packaging should be taught in school, 3 hrs. a week minimum.

Yes please, just want to get an idea on costs. matt3o's link has them at €130, if the postage isn't too expensive then great.

The one I bought was from a person in the UK, I got it for £27 + £15 postage... so bit gutted :'(

I'm having a carpenter make a vanity unit for the bathroom and this semi-recessed style is perfect. Just can't find any similar.

Hey I just called a couple of places and things are tough: They told me that the maker "Bellavista" has closed, and the only had leftovers, but I have the former distributor here I found on the webpage so I will check it later.
Also I think 15gbp is very cheap I think the shipping costs from Spain will be more expensive. I have seen is about 12kg.

Thanks very much, appreciate your help mate

Do not worry. Later I will call the shops. They usually open from 17:00 on.

Update: I have called 5 more shops near my place and they have told me they dont have it and confirmed that the factory has closed and they are not receiving anymore from Bellavista. I am waiting for one of them to confirm with his providers and he will call me back. So if you can get it somewhere.

Thanks hope that one in Portugal's not the last one!
