When I went into the store in Prince George with the broken glass shade that was broken when I unpacked them they took a shade off another unit. I did not notice until I got home (90 kms.) that it too was chipped. I would like to buy a coulple to keep on hand, since they appear to be very fragile. It makes sense that you would have those in stock in each store. But if that were true they wouldn't have had to take it off another fixture.
