Currently discussing with Walt Smith, who is suggesting he sent no such order. So this appears to be re-boxed LA rock. Or rather, rubble.

Probably Walt Smith rock that is shipped to LA, then stored and reshipped as ordered. As I said earlier, nice enough rock, and what I would expect from WS, but just way too small for my design plans.

My 3 boxes of WS Fiji Ultra were money! I asked for one show piece and the rest moderate to large sized. I got what I asked for. It seemed like the boxes hadn't been tampered with too much but how do I know, tape is tape lol! That's sucks that your rock was cherry picked through if that was the case. I'd definitely ask whomever you bought it through to make it right. They made profit off it, lots or little that's not your concern. They should make it right.

So I spoke to the supplier and saw the order placed to Walt Smith, and the error is on the Fiji side. As expected from this vendor, he's jumping at fixing this and I hope to minimize delays and losses in this transaction.

So yes, it is WS rock, as it appeared to be (nice quality) but WS must have had new staff packing with the thought that more rocks was better rocks

Sounds like they are going to fix this for you, that's great news. How long do you think it'll be held up at this point??

Hmm, so if he didn't send such order and you ordered from him, is he going to make it good? or is there a middle man that maybe screwed you over?

No, after clearing some details, Walt has agreed that they made a mistake and are making it good. Tim ordered the rock on my behalf and specifically asked for what I wanted, as seen on a copy of the order. Probably just a bad day at the packing station. Still a bit of a mess to deal with, but hopefully I'll get out of it without too much pain.
