When I ship a single Funko, I always include a protector then I bubble it. It fits perfectly into an 8 x 6 x 4 box. never had any issues. I use a 9 x 7 x 5 box if a hard stack is included in shipping. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ :freddy1: O:) O:) :cheers:

IMO Sorter and bubble or paper to fit gaps. Only bubble sometimes can damage the items, it happens with the air bags, I don´t know why but sometimes the bags arrive super inflated (Due to change in pression I guess) that this cause damage in the items.

When I ship I normally use a hard case protector, bubble wrap it, and then use a USPS medium box...fits perfect.

Bubble wrap definitely causes damages the way people over tape. I always ship in a soft protector minimum and bubble wrap with enough tape to secure it not mummy wrap like many Mercari sellers do

It would be great if they came packed like the diecast ones, those are perfect , foam on the inside and outside ,hard stack ,strong card board box and a regular box. That pop will make it through a tornado without being scratched.

I love shipping the pops I sell in protectors, then in a sorter, and then a small wrap of bubble wrap lol. I think it ensures the ultimate protection!

I ship with love, care and a prayer. I don't know how many times I have gotten a box that looks like it went a couple rounds with a boxer and it was a MIRACLE it came in one piece.

I tried this once...then in addition to love and care I added the hard case and bubble wrap lol

I'd prefer my shipped pop to be in a protector and bubble wrapped in a 8x8x8 box

I have been using an 8x6x6 box with bubble wrap and protectors. So far that has done pretty well in shipping. Purchased a set of boxes on Amazon.

I usually wrap my Funko pop with bubble wrap inserted into a protector before hand, then tape it up and out more bubble wrap around the sides that are empty and that never caused me any problems :freddy2:

If it’s a single funko protector and triple layered corrugated box. Anything over 1 gets a protector bubble wrap and paper in the box. I have more issues with damaged packages on larger boxes than on the smaller boxes. Only bad report on a small box was the post office ran it over but didn’t flatten the pop only smashed a corner. But my customer got a full refund and kept the pop.

I grabbed a stack (10ish?) of the USPS Priority Medium Flat-Rate boxes...fit a single pop perfect with room for additional filling, bubble, etc. Easy peasy.

Pop in a hard clear case, bubble wrap it, line the inside of the box w/bubble wrap and then use styrofoam peanuts for extra filling.

Depends of the value but at a bare minimum I want a soft protector. If it is a higher dollar grail I would expect it to be in a hard stack or Armor/VV. Too risky to ship otherwise. Also regardless of its protector it should be wrapped with something - bubble or paper wadding. Same courtesy I extend on all sales.

Double boxing grails sometimes doesn't hurt either! But this is definitely the way to go packing pops

I use a protector, bubble wrap AND paper confetti. It all fits nice and snug.

as much as you can fit in w/o being too tight, but still enough to prevent it from sloshing around.

I always use a sorter and wrap that with bubble wrap. Really dislike when people use newspaper, plastic bags, etc
