Fun Delivery from Amazon today.  No box, label on box, both sides of box were opened and then sealed shut with shipping tape.

No option for exchange either which surprised me.

Wow, what horrible pictures......

The new normal:

LEGO shipping to their highly valued customers via DPD (pictures showing 2 out of 3 shipments).

DPD is really the worst of the available companies here. I had to file 5 damage reports in the past years and I try to never use DPD because they always play soccer with the box.

I've had this a couple of times. I always mark the parcel as a gift now. Not sure if it helps but, i haven't had it happen since I started doing that.

I think the shipping box may have been destroyed.  I had a FBM customer complain one time that their set arrived just like this one -- no box with label slapped on.  Assuming UPS reiterates sticker and sends without shipping box.

'Deutscher Paket Dienst' which translates into 'German Parcel Service', one of Germany's major shipping contractors for private customers.

Is it just completely random when Amazon ships in the retail box?  I received my second AS today beat-up, taped and labeled.  I know "now" there is a box to check to make sure it ships in an outside box but I have never done so ever and never received a Lego set without a box.  And that's a lot of years of buying Lego not to have this happen.  I mostly just fire off these orders without thinking but I guess I need to pause and make sure from now on.  Irritating . . . 😠

Do you remember if it was the FF or the Standard packaging that you ordered?

I just hit "buy it now" and moved on.  I'm just venting cause I've never had to select a certain of packing/shipping before.

Amazon needs to rephrase that option to IDC packaging: I don't care if it arrives looking like it was towed behind the truck. 

Who do they think wants this option?

I gotta wonder what they do with the "evidence" after the case closes.  I want to be a part of that auction

Ouch, just saw this.  Have lots of these still and Camaro's.  Two different sizes but why pay more for a smaller set I guess.

yea i think it will do fine just definetly cap gains, and other investors likely will dump depressing prices for awhile. But camaros I dont think are being remade?

Oh yeah.  That's where you find the  "“Star Wars” spaceships, for example, routinely sell for north of $1,000. A set that turns into Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon fluctuates between $1,000 and $4,000, according to the website Work + Money."
