6157 Big Zoo Duplo is now SOld Out

expected ship date of 3/16.

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Brickpicker mobile app

4 HHs from target - still 50/50 success rate with packaging. I knew what sort of box they were going to use, so 4 would fit, and have room for fillers. I did not account for "why don't we try to back up a truck into this box". so 2 ended up having little accordion going on one side(seals essentially getting undone on one side), the other two  fared a bit better (minor creases). Yeah, i know should have done 1 HH per order... but with script kiddies this days, who has time to place 4 orders...

 

2 from amazon in very good shape though. 

I'm not a fan of Target customer support.

 

Yep, it took several calls to finally correct an order where they shorted me a set.  Their CS is mostly unhelpful, though I guess they are probably cheap to employ.

Two Grand Emporium 10211 came in from a Walmart order late last week.

Both boxed in another box but not the Lego original box but perfect fit.

No damage.

 

Both seal codes are 36R4.  Guess they were so produced not long ago.

I ordered two HH from Target about 10 days ago and one of them got "lost" between Target and UPS. Pretty bummed, I was going to build one and hold onto the other.

Do they realize how big of a "loss" that is. Come on

Picked up some 'other toys' from a WM site-to-store order. To my surprise they brought out 2 boxes (I expected only 1). In the first box, measuring about 22x14x12, all 5 of my toys I ordered nicely packed with brown paper. In the second mystery box, also 22x14x12...a large amount of brown packing paper...and precisely 1 packing slip. That is all.

 

This has happened twice in 2 days.

 

Maybe this belongs in the thread of packaging excellence.

you must be in west coast.

 

i have never had issue with walmart packaging so far. its been excellent.

 

not so much luck with thinkgeek; TRU and recently last minute exclusives from target.

 

if i order sets not in BP'ers list they do arrive in pristine condition. as soon as the mad rush occurs then that set has a higher probability of arriving damaged.

Of all things my 2nd order of 2 Town Halls from Walmart a week ago that has been slowly going nowhere just shipped.

 

Pleased.

My 5 HH shipped from amazon 3rd party. They said they would pack it extra well. Here is to hope.

I love hearing these stories of Haunted Houses and Town Halls traveling safely to their new Brickpicker homes.

WB Shop update:

No tumblers ever came in, no email. Just called them, they said the shipment they received was all damaged and hey had to cancel my order. they gave me 50$ off my next purchase. no sure how if feel about it either way

life of a scum reseller aint for the weak, that's for sure.

What, the company they outsource for pre-sitting on them went a bit too far?

Walmart is just as bad for me as anybody else and I live in the midwest.  I just received an order of 4x GE and they were shipped in the same box which was too large for them.  There was no filler or packing material and the top corner was ripped off when I got it from Fedex.  Two of the sets are still sealed but the boxes are heavily creased.  Another set has the seals popped on one end and is in worse shape than the first two.  The last one is busted open and I'm not sure if all the bags are there.  Overall I am not happy with them right now.  That's after I received 2x TH earlier this week that were in really rough shape.  I guess at least they put them in a shipping box instead of slapping on a label though.

u know it's that bad when they say it is that bad

No kidding. Should have asked them, "How am I going to flip a $50 credit?!?"

I ordered two GEs from amazon on Oct 3 during a brief pop. One shipped immediately. The other is still waiting for a better shipping estimate. I hope some of the walmart stockings make it to amazon. I don't think amazon has shown them in stock since the 3rd?

Got my Walmart Town Hall. Ouch.

Rec'd my 2x HH from Amazon.  37R4, as opposed to 49R3 from the week or two before.  Some light creases and slight bowing at one end, probably due to them adding an old, small Subscribe & Save order at the end, with no paper cushion around it.  Oh well.

Edited October 18, 201411 yr by TJ488

The 2 HHs (37R4) that I ordered from Amazon arrived in one bix box with zero cushion. Thankfully, both only had minor creases. 

Single TH from Walmart arrived absolutely destroyed. Label on the actual box, seals popped, weighed it and compared with my others MISB, and thankfully all appears to be there. Oh well... I planned on building this one, anyway.

Walmart is worthless. I no longer order from them. They also don't care and you have to waste time taking to a store or shipping back.

I've had good experiences with ship to store, just don't have them ship to your house.

I got my two HH from Amazon. Beautiful additions.

I'll trade you a Batman signal for one, and since I know how you love those minifigs I will throw in a Spooky Girl ;)

HH x2 from Amazon 28R4, slight squishing of boxes and corner damage but happy.

HH x1 from Target 37R4 in Target special huge box, arrived in perfect condition.

T1x2 and GEx2 from Amazon were shipped together and arrived in rough shape, I should have placed separate orders for these.

 

Boscov's order arrived in good shape in multiple shipments.
