Anything I've ordered from UK in last while has taken a very long time to deliver to Ireland Sorry I am UK based and have only used UK companies. TBH I have seen significant leads times on all semi custom boxes for some time so I am ordering 6m out to make sure I have coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I couldn't find that size on Amazon but maybe wasn't searching enough. Perhaps this has been asked before but it doesn't take much bubble wrap around the set to take up the space in the box. What is the ideal distance between the Lego set and the surface of the cardboard box on all sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't complain about the pop-ups if you haven't logged in to the site. Once you log in, the pop-ups disappear. I last signed in about two years ago and don't think that I've had to since. https://brickset.com/sets/21046-1/Empire-State-Building Edited October 1, 2021 by raindog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally joined some other shipment platform to ship a present to my brother with UPS last year. I know PirateShip recently added UPS, maybe just use them?

And yes, paypal had UPS for a long time. With the migration to shipstation, UPS is now dropped as well as the usps first class. And, you can't generate international label anymore. bummer.

Gonkalin Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Can anyone say if it is worth moving shipping over to PirateShip? I saw that that was a thing a few weeks ago but really don't know much about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For eBay and Amazon sales, you forfeit any shipping protection those platforms may give you by buying postage from outside the platforms. Having said that, PirateShip has been my backup postage provider for 2 years and so far I have no complaint. Supposedly you can import sales from other platforms to it but I have not used that tool myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirateship usps label is fine, discount is decent. But if I am selling on ebay, I tend to use its own label for exact the reason @Darth_Raichu mentioned.

Yes original Lego set box must be preserved. I have often received a large double walled box from Lego online with 3 sets in it.

Brystheguy Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) My airbags are taking up a lot of space in my store room and my wife perceives this as me having more LEGO than I actually do. What packing paper does everyone use! Plain old Kraft paper? Something else? Might be nice to have a filler option that’s smaller than all the airbags I have.
