Better Housewares Moisture Proof Shaker

ive always used this type salt shaker.. love the top ..easy to use and dry storage of salt is great. BUT , even though the shaker and top is designed well , the packing was non existent and so the glass shakers broke. so i ended up paying over 22 bucks for 3 unusable shakers.. i cant repack and resend broken glass so im asking amazon to make good on this purchase of mine and send at least 2 replacement glass shakers.. including the tops also would be a bonus . but the glass is whats broke , not the tops. i give 4 stars for the idea and purpose but one 1 star for packing.. if you dont replace the 2 glass shakers, do the right thing and credit me my money back for 2 of them at least.

-Grip: Size and ribbing make it easier to pick up quickly and not drop
-Cover: More difficult to use; requires more strength be used on spring lever, which makes tipping and pouring more of an effort. Cap must be held open during pouring, it does lock open.
-Cleanliness: Constant small spills: cap does not plug holes, only covers them, allowing loose salt to get into walled gap between holes and cap, which then tumbles out onto the table or into the spring the next time it is opened.
-Pouring: requires a...Read more
