Beautiful image but missing a piece.

Beautiful puzzle and nice quality. I liked the image so much I paid quite a bit more than I normally do for a puzzle. Unfortunately, there was an edge piece missing right from the start. Since the edge is the first part I do it spoiled finishing the puzzle knowing it was already incomplete. I also didn't start it soon enough in time to return it or ask for a replacement or credit not realizing the return window had passed. So I have a nice puzzle with a missing piece. I have read reviews where this happens to other people so I always open the box very carefully (so as not to lose any pieces) and keep the puzzle in a safe place while I work on it. I now know that missing pieces right from the manufacturer do happen. Very disappointing otherwise this would have been a five-star review.
