I ordered two of these tubs of animal counters from Amazon during one of the holiday price drops (one for us; one for the gift closet).

Immediately upon arrival, I noticed one was damaged (the tub is cracked - most likely from rough handling during shipment). I went online to do the return/replacement mess & I'm not sure if it's worth my troubles. Whether I order a replacement or request a refund, they want me to mail back the damaged tub. I haven't tried calling CS, but they're losing more than what I paid by having me send it back. It was only $5. What would you do? I thought about donating it, but I hate donating things that I didn't buy to donate! Or, any ideas for a cute replacement canister? Maybe I could combine both of these sets for twice the animals! Mostly I'm just annoyed that this could have been prevented had Amazon taken a little care in their packaging methods. This is not the first damaged item I've received from Amazon. They get into such a rush during the holiday season & just toss stuff haphazardly in a box. Last year I had a crushed doll, the year before, a broken tea set. All ended up donated. Sigh... :(
