A Tale of Two Rings

A Tale of Two Rings

I’ve been hyperventilating a bit this week. We ordered the less expensive version of Mr. Gazelle’s wedding band off the internet. It was now in the hands of USPS and Canada Post and was scheduled to arrive in the first week of June. And Canada Post served notice to strike later this week. I had visions of Mr. Gazelle’s second wedding band sitting in some postal facility for months on end, well past our wedding day. Would his ring arrive in time?

Imagine my relief when the ring showed up in our mail box yesterday, just in the nick of time!

The more expensive ring is on the left, the less expensive ring is on the right. There are some subtle differences—like the titanium carbide is slightly brighter and shinier on the cheaper ring. Overall the differences aren’t big enough to ignore that there is an 87% difference in price between the two rings.

Did you find a better deal on a wedding band after you already purchased it?

Wow, what a savings and they look nearly identical! Glad this arrived before the strike!

Are you going to sell the more expensive one?

@Miss Funnel Cake: The more expensive ring has a 100 day return policy on it. We double checked the receipt before we ordered it to make sure that it could be returned.

Canada Post employees are doing rotating strikes instead of a complete walkout. They are striking for 24 hours in Winnipeg, 48 hours in Hamilton, etc. So mail will still get delivered but perhaps a day or 2 slower depending on where it’s going. I was worried too, since we mailed our invitations on Monday but it looks like everything will be ok!

We got our ring from http://www.tungstenworld.com and it’s priced like the cheaper one, yet looks like the more expensive one. It may be the best of both worlds!
