Review Tupperware went to hell in a handbasket

I wanted to replace a sandwich keeper that snapped in half and all they offered me was half of the value of it and then I still had to pay the whole value of it for shipping. How is that a warranty when I said this is an outrage because technically if something breaks after only a few years four to be exact, they should cover it and they said oh we went bankrupt on this new company doesn't do that now you get the value of the one item even if it's in a set and you still have to pay a ton for shipping. They won't let you wave shipping to get a warranty replacement. So basically I have to pay double the value of the item to get it replaced for free. Seriously forget them.

What would you use to take a sandwich to work? I don't want anything too big and bulky. I try to use glass whenever possible.

Sistema (sp?) has a great sandwich keeper I bought at Home Goods for about $5.

I've used a glassware container, or wrapped in foil.

Not to shill, but I bought a bunch of mepal containers recently. Yes, they are plastic, but they have been great so far. I feel like these are what Tupperware should have evolved into.

Looks more like a wastebasket than a handbasket.

If you mail it to Tupperware, they will replace it. I did this with several pieces I had and they replaced everything OR a comparable item. Do it!
