It's always frustrating when you buy something online and it either doesn't arrive on time, or doesn't arrive in the condition you were led to expect.
We had a similar experience a while back. Himself bought a Tiffany-style swag lamp on eBay to go over our dining table. The photograph showed it completely assembled and lit. When it arrived, it was completely taken apart, the design was not the same as the one in the photograph, it had no cord, the porcelain bulb socket was cracked, and there was a boatload of random hardware in the box that had nothing to do with the lamp. We had to buy a socket and a cord for it, and build the lamp into the shade. Fortunately, I know how to build a lamp, and I liked the design even better than the one in the picture.
