Wabricks Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I ordered the Treehouse and it came in a black plastic wrap. No packing box. It was surprisingly well intact but one side was a bit crushed. I was quite shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Twain Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Joining the “Amazon shoved my order in a plastic bag” chorus. X3 Mando battle packs crushed. What’s the protocol here? Straight up return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the protocol here? Straight up return? It happened to me on the 2x75891 ordered from them several months back. Set arrived box crushed, so I contacted cs for the replacement. Amazon then sent me 2x75891 for four times. Contacted back for the redundant orders but was told to keep them as they are cheap I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, they actually threw in a couple air cushions and they arrived safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 So it turned out Amazon uses 2 types of bubble mailers to ship sets. A bigger one for $30 MSRP sets and smaller one for $15-$20 MSRP sets.. YAY!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably the set I'd be least likely to return (if you were worrying about staying off the radar) since so many people are going to be opening it anyways.

I've been a LEGO reseller for 8 years now and an Amazon/eBay reseller for 10. I'm pretty good about staying off any radar. I've parted out all the Mando sets that I plan to open for my BL store. Every set that I buy now goes in to the hold bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_bricks Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Ordered some Harry Potter sets and Amazon decided to box them up with a jug of Tide detergent. Blew open a Knight Bus and creased everything else. I'm putting a pile together of sets that will need to go back. I can live with creasing, that's usually not worth the hassle of returning but when seals are busted I tend to fire up the return labels.

Then that surely was a win! I’ve given up on Amazon shipping Tide. More than half of those orders leak, soaks through the box, and the delivery person doesn’t even bother dropping it off. And of course they always have other order items that may have been just fine but are now cancelled as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually came in it's own box inside the larger box, I had not seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANV Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Got my two Taskmasters from Lego. FedEx actually wrapped the box in a bag since it's been raining all day. Both are dry and intact. Truly an excellent packing experience. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymomachine Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Sorry guys, looks like I got the only box that Kohl's had left. They used about 20 feet of sealed air bags to fill it up after plopping in the road plates. Also UPS misdelivered a package from Kohl's to a random warehouse a few miles away? I got Kohl's to reship, so that's nice at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaczy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Few days ago ordered 4x 75234 from LEGO Shop at Home EU.

oneknightr Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 I ordered a Lego Boost for my son's Xmas gift off Amazon and noticed something on the order page that I never noticed before. Maybe you guys have seen it before, but it says "Item arrives in packaging that shows what's inside". In order to hide it, you have to click Ship in Amazon Packaging and then click the checkbox next to "Ship in Amazon Packaging". After checking this, under Gift Option, it says "Ships in Amazon Packaging". I'm guessing this may be a way to prevent a Lego set from being shipped with just a shipping label slapped on it. I'll post an update when I get the set on Thursday. Seems like a sneaky default setting that allows Amazon to ship products with shipping labels slapped on it. On a side note, some poor guy on Amazon had his Nebulon Frigate shipped with just a label on it. No box or bag. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has everyone here been changing the default setting and still getting their sets with shipping labels on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
