Replace Missing Pieces Replace Missing Pieces So, discussing missing pieces includes the different cuts of the same puzzle as in the Dowdle Calgary Stampede jigsaw puzzle for example. If you are missing a piece in a new (even sealed) jigsaw puzzle, there is a chance that it did not arrive with the package. Yes it may have 'escaped' during your assembly process or the pets may have ventured into the area and misplaced it during their 'playtime' but you also may be 'quite' certain you were careful enough and were not responsible for the missing pieces. It happens a lot more than you might think. You may contact the Jigsaw Puzzle Company and they may offer you a replacement IF that is their policy or they may offer you a different puzzle. Because all cuts are not the same. I was missing one piece AND fortunately had a 2nd puzzle of the same image BUT as you can clearly see....the cut is not the same. There's more...read on.... So....about 6 months later - I FOUND the missing piece! No KIDDING! I still had both of the jigsaw puzzles so I instantly put the puzzle piece back to the original box. It amazes me where/how these pieces show up. It just goes to show how easily a piece can get lost and then found again. The Dowdle boxes are really quite secure in packaging so losing it from the box likely did not happen. But amazingly it was found within my piles of puzzles, which means this particular piece was the greatest escapee of all! With pets around I would constantly scan the floor for missing pieces - that was the norm. So how does one piece escape, get left on the floor, right smack in the middle of the room that I enter the next day - how did I not see it when I left the room the day before? I have heard some of the weirdest places these pieces can show up. Under the assembled puzzle is common. Inside the trunk of a vehicle, not so much. How about in a sock or shoe? And what’s incredible is the time it takes for these pieces to surface….sometimes it’s months. Replace Missing Pieces Would you like to know how to replace a missing jigsaw puzzle piece?
