Pop! Pet Peeve

[ilovepop]

Now that is a tongue twister isn't it!!!

There is nothing worse than getting your pop figure by mail and opening the package to see that they didn't package your pop at all. Just stuck it in the box all willy nilly!!! I especially love when they put it in a very small box, so small you can barely pull it out... Even worse when you get it the box is all damaged from lack of packaging or too small of a box!!! And when you tell whoever sold it to you, that the pop! box is damaged because of their lack of packing they go but the figure is okay??? and I am like yeah but the box is important to many of us collectors!!!

When I buy online I want to say to online retailers, please protect my pop pretty please! wow, that's a lot of p's!

Anyone who has ever received anything by mail, should know they don't always handle the packages with kid gloves. I imagine them tossing around the packages like they are clothes in a dryer. I think sometimes when the postal workers get angry they take it out on the packages!

Well that is my Pop Pet Peeve for the day!

I have noticed that when they offer free shipping they tend to cram as many as they can in to the smallest box possible.

I agree and if I was a postal worker I would probably chuck packages around when I was angry too.
Lucky im not one.

haha so true i bought a greedo from online not only did it come late the figure was lose in the box and the corners were messed up and it also had like pen markings on one side i tried to message the guy back he never responded hmm....

Barnes & nobles is known to package pop poorly!

Whats more upsetting to me is the HUGE stickers Disney slaps on their POP if you order from their online store

[Death Proof]

both from Barnes and Noble!

That is why I quit ordering things from them online. I can just as easy call a Disney store and have it shipped from there without the freaking sticker.

Wow...how serendipitous that this thread was started today. I just picked up my Han Solo today with a severely mangled box thanks to the envelope it was mailed in.

[ilovepop]

It was put on an envelope??? I swear there needs to be a dummies guide to shipping!!! Sorry about your box.

[sclarke03]

I guess people figure since the toy come in its own box, that it's ok to ship it that way?

I gladly would have paid an extra 2 or 3 Euros to have it shipped in a proper box.

Picture this:

A UPS driver rang my door bell. I opened the door, and there next to him was a 20" Stewie wobbler with a crushed skull and some shards of cardboard hanging loosely around them. Loved the expression on his face (UPS guy, not Stewie).

I really dislike the plastic hanger tags, especially on the outside of the box!

OH!!! Me too!!! Especially when you try to stack the boxes!!!

And when they put price tags on the front of the box, especially the cardboard portion.

I had the same problem with the SDCC Shadow Trooper that I just ordered to complete my husband's Star Wars set. He charged $10 shipping and out it in an envelope and sent it first class! My husband has already emailed him, if he doesn't hear back he's going to try to talk to newegg.

I had the exact same thing with my Han Solo! The box was really mangled... they just put it in one of those plastic slip things. I paid more than enough in shipping to have it in a box!

[jlcall3]

I had some stuff come to me that way and because of that I make sure stuff I ship to everyone here is taken care of...
