TomOOO Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 My best was from amazon uk of set 42042 : they just stuck the labels to the outside of the lego box; no need for packaging, it is a box already. I complained and got a large discount as it was for myself and not to sell on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodibricks Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I had read that Amazon was starting to pull a Walmart, slapping labels on the sets. What do we have to do now, add a gift receipt? They'll probably just tape that to the set too. At least one tape was so shifted from its original place, I had to verify the contents. Thank goodness it was one of the few sets I'd keep for myself.

Popular Post Phil B Posted July 13, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Yes ... that's a 17 x 13 x 6 box holding ...... a tiny bag of 8 screws. The very same bag of screws I added for $0.89 to move my $34.99 purchase over the $35 threshold for free shipping, and which then got shipped in a separate shipment. Applause for KMart.

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 it's packaging like this, that makes Fedex drivers disappear. I know most of us have at least one screw loose but seriously @Phil B you ordered 8 screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomOOO Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 oh... I had an order from tesco-direct that was the best packed lego box I ever received - lego box itself wrapped in bubble wrap all the way round, then the entire packaging box filled with bubble wrap top and bottom. So I guess my packer was an AFOL and yours hated lego... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've had tesco direct orders where the boxes weren't taped and just tucked in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomOOO Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 And there was the Amazon-UK classic - of .... no box. Just slam the labels over the lego box and let the courier do his worst..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Ordered a couple slimers form Target. Of course they came pancaked. Is it even worth it to return or ask for a discount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadfraggle Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Amazon. Really going down hill on packaging materials. In the last two weeks I've received three different shipments/orders that have been totally unacceptable. I'm talking no inner packing materials, instead, a scattering of crumpled brown shipping paper. No air pillows, bubble wrap, etc. Then there's the issue of packing delicate/lightweight items in the same box as heavy items. It's called gravity, conveyor belts, and a freight truck, Google them. What exactly did they think was going to happen? Opening each box is an adventure now. It looks like a W.T.F. Bomb went off inside each package. One Funko arrived broken, two Funko boxes arrived crushed, a brand new LEGO box is crumpled. I want to return it all on principle, but I also don't want to get labeled a problem/prima donna type buyer. Sorry for the rant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxman Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Just in from TRU. I'm afraid to even open it. Edited September 1, 2016 by jaxman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxman Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Well no protective bubble wrap or paper inside of course. My Indominous Rex's survived "okay". One is in very good shape, the other has some damage on a corner. But I used the TRU gift cards from earlier this week, average buy in around $80, and would a return even be worth it since that is a hassle with the gift cards?

Phil B Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 My order from TRU came in an undamaged, appropriately sized box. 2 Minecraft sets placed flat, 2 speed champions places vertically. Unfortunately some clever soul in Groveport, OH decided to add a few pouches of air, and placed them partially on top of the vertical boxes, resulting in Friends-style indentations in each of the 2 Speed Champions sets. Luckily those were for personal build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no hassle if you return it at your local TRU. They will just put the balance on merchandise credit, which is the same as giftcard.

woodyhtc Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I think they will average out the refund price when you return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
