Re: New NFT Packing...
It’s an improvement but why not just ship in at least soft protectors. They should really just charge for shipping and ship in armors. Or give people the option to pay extra for it to be shipped in an armor. This is not complicated or difficult stuff

I really like the new foam insert and the boxes seem to be a bit sturdier. My Jurassic Park one came perfect, much better than previous shipments.

I like how it adds a little more protection considering how damaged theyve came in the past

It does add a little bit of protection, but the damage i've seen is the employee rushing or not carefully inserting the pop and foam in to the cardboard. Still a step in the right direction. hopefully when they offer protectors, the employess don't rush to put them in creating damage as well.

I've been lucky so far, but agree I like the foam insert, boxes seem the same.

You can see the leftover finger prints when you open them

That is a really good point. I hadn't heard, but are they going to offer the option to add protectors in the future?

Yeah it was one of the announcements they did at the beginning of the year. No word about it since then, but I assume they'll roll in the cost of the extra shipping in to it. But hey, if they all come without damage, I think thats a win.

Agreed, I wouldn't mind paying extra for it to be placed in a protector. So if they gave us the option, it definitely would be worth it.

I wonder if this will come with some assurance of quality. Tbf the damage I've seen as of recent has been from the actual action of packing not the actual shippiny

I appreciate them actually making them a little better, but so many horror stories have turned myself and a lot of others off already. It wasnt their fault making this happen too late, but it could've happened sooner

Agreed, a lot of collections in my circle quit the nft part and waiting to buy from sellers once in hand. The race to the bottom when in hand and being able to assess the boxes made extra little cost worth it to them.
They have been better with replacements, but if they took a little better care/time packing these they wouldn't have the issue in the first place. Most of the imperfections I've seen recently is from human error getting these packed up.

Hopefully the option to add a protector comes out soon but hopefully arent damaged before being put in there

I forgot that was something they pitched
I can’t imagine the logistics being too hard

Just gotta have large amounts of protectors in stock for them and i know workers have deadlines to meet so hopefully theres some room for them to be careful with them

They’ve been getting significantly better with the timeline of shipping so that’s always good as well. I guess they do sound harder to implement

This would be great. I don't think the new sorters are better. Every single NFT drop prior to when they switched arrived to me minty fresh! Since the new sorters, my pops have had creases galore!

So far these have been loads better than previous deliveries, and we're getting rid of those square rubs in the corners .

Re: New NFT Packing...
There was rally never an issue with old package. It was really a handling issue before being loaded into boxes. When the exterior box is untouched but the pop box is banged up it just tells you it is a people handling issue.

Yea i feel it, the shipping boxes and the inserts would arrive unharmed but the pops would be damaged. Ive noticed less damaged upon delivery so hopefully brighter days coming foward

What was Droppp thinking with these changes? The box on the outside with the riptab - great! No issues there. But the sorter was definitely a downgrade. All these photos online and in the discord show damage across I'd argue 40-50% of the boxes in the same space. I personally had my Grail and Peppermint affected and its just confusing as we see droppp is trying to get better (offering shipping with protectors sometime this year) and then this change happen. I'd be curious if due to the amount of emails they probably recieved (mine included) that they quickly change their ways promptly.
Since they changed over I have had a majority arrive with minor dings and they bother me more than severe damage. At least with severe damage you can fight to get a box replacement but these small dents and dings Droppp just droppps your email in the trash

They have been better at getting boxes (alone) to people who email in if they have stock tbf even with minor damage. But yeah they still have a way to go.

While I am not a fan of DHL shipping in general because it just seems to take so much longer than the other carriers, my Zombie Freddys arrived unharmed and in great condition. Definitely feel like Droppp is moving in the right direction!

Re: New NFT Packing...
No matter what design they use for the sorters, I wish they'd start putting a piece of tape on them to make sure they didn't pop (no pun intended) open in transit.
