<p>Hi from across the pond, with a long-delayed answer (we're a bit slow over here, some of us)</p>
<p>The Galaxy did have its fibre-optics separate for despatch, it came with a cute little spring gismo that worked the spray up into the sealed dome, but mostly these springs have got lost over time.</p>
<p>I've bought several, and only the one with the original spring (and box) had its spray removed for transit.</p>
<p>The others all got here OK despite that, but other issues need watching out…</p>

<p>Thanks Erin and Tim for the sympathy. It's not just spending hundreds on a lamp for me, it's the work of art a classic, good condition lamp represents. Some dealers are just into the money and a bad experience often can turn a person off to a rewarding hobby.</p>
<p>I'm unaware of ANY company currently producing a glass fiber lamp. They all seem to be plastic now. Perhaps there was a consumer products issue with the glass fibers as they do break off over time. I've had a few nasty glass…</p>

<p>I'm unaware of ANY company currently producing a glass fiber lamp. They all seem to be plastic now. Perhaps there was a consumer products issue with the glass fibers as they do break off over time. I've had a few nasty glass splinters and can't imagine if they somehow got into food.</p>
<p>At the most I might get a refund from his shipping company (if he files the claim right) but this unethical eBay seller wants me to ship the lamp back and pay shipping both ways (around $160). So he wins out if he can repair the lamp or sell it for parts.</p>
<p>I guess stuff like this just goes with the territory, someday I'll recount the story of the 7 month saga of getting my Humongo.</p> I am sorry for you and that y…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2013-02-14:1566398:Comment:4386692013-02-14T01:15:02.292ZTim Gillhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/TimGill
<p>I am sorry for you and that your having to deal with this</p>
<p>I don't have and packaging or know exactly how they were shipped but I assume that they were in parts packaged separately not just the whole item as it will result in what you have got.</p>
<p>Maybe try seeing if there are any simerler fibers in production now and look into how they are packaged - they will most certainly be in separate parts</p>
<p>As its a Crestsworth item and vintage I doubt Mathmos would be able to help you…</p>
