Ebay packaging experiences.

[Nick_IoW]

Now I know we all get some crazy bad packaging from Ebayers for our beloved collections.
But I had a good one today - so thought I would share this rarity!
If it was sent by someone on here, then kudos to you sir.

I got a parcel, about MOC size, that was far too heavy to be a MOC so I was wondering what it was.

I opened it up to be confronted by this:



"Hmm" I thought as I took it out of the box. Soon to be replaced by an "Oooh!"



And tada!



All minty fresh, and definitely not much chance of being crushed!

I like it when parcels keep you on your toes guessing

In case the post van blows up! You can never be too careful

 

[jedi_masters]

Wow that is crazy, but at least it protects the MOC inside.

Way & beyond the call of duty, but I like it

 

[mumbo]

[Stormtrooper37]

[Garydo]

Some years ago I received and AT-AT with box in a wooden box from a guy here in Denmark.

I could only open it with a screwdriver :lol:

Great to see a great packing job

Yea man it beats getting your MOC rolled in bog roll then shoved in a Jiffy bag haha.

 

[Stargeezer]

Strong? Sure, but they added weight Will definitly increase shipping cost.

I once received some loose figures packaged in bubble wrap inside a piece of PVC guttering tube. Quite ingenious I thought, as it is very strong but quite lightweight, but total overkill. :lol:

Little wonder it looked like this when I opened it...

Jeeesus, that reminds me of the Tri Logo Yak Face Moc I had arrive in a jiffy bag, bubble smashed....

 

[PGowdy]

God!, I hope you got your money back for that! :shock:

 

[rob71]

Seller blamed the shipping company (because of course it curled itself up like that en route - yeah right :roll: ), shipping company didn't want to know as "the damage was only to the packaging"... sheer ignorance.

 

[Pomse2001]

Sorry rob to see such a great moc to be damaged like that, sound like a very bad seller. I hope you get your money back or at least 50% in discount if you choose to keep it.
