TheDarkness Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 There are always ways around it. Sets can be opened if for personal use, but there also is another work around for larger sets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 If you are selling larger sets, get some of those cheap candy stripe bags from your local thrift shop. Throw the box in there, I got told they aren't allowed to cube the weight that way. Means freight is cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Oh the horror.... I hate receiving Amazon orders sometimes. Damaged, crushed, water soaked sets. Off go the emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 bugger bugger bugger. How many lego boxes affected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 A few Ghost Trains, Orc Forges and Batwings 12 in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Ouch that hurts. Thats a massive lot for Amazon to address. Partial refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Hoping so. I'll mail it back, doesn't bother me but they are fairly busted up. I don't get how something that is here in 6 days manages to so regularly sustain water damage. I have had times where I have been quite fortunate and had a busted up box and no damage inside whatsoever. They need thicker boxes, it really isn't that hard and would save them a heap I'd imagine.

stinger-311 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah thicker boxes would help. I really do not think it is amazon who are the real issue it is the baggage handlers at the airports when they load and unload the parcels. Funnily enough the lego boxes that Lego themselves use , I found, have never been damaged. Maybe amazon need to put a big fat LEGO STICKER on the box or FRAGILE. Maybe that would solve some of the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Exactly. I have never had water damage on any other order placed, apart from Amazons, and I have used plenty of retailers over the years. Maybe the issue comes from their warehouse and not the handlers. I am not sure. It is crazy though considering. I have items in transit for a month that get here better than their couriered items that come in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger-311 Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Yeah I know. Common sense dictates less travel time = less damage. Not always the way. Mine arrive today so I hope mine caught a different plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Mine must have come from Tom Hanks' FedEx plane from Cast Away All good, their customer service is the best as it always is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
