Shipping Box Overkill for Two Dorbz

Postby **Goofy_Guy** » Thu Feb 08, 2018 7:21 pm

I just got two dorbz from Disney Store online and I could not believe the size of the box they were shipped in. The height of the box is about 8-9 inches.

That's a lot of packaging lol

It’s all they had nearby. Haha.

If it's the same size box I received once, it can hold 56 Dorbz total. Just a little bit of overkill.

Holy crap!!! lol

Better than one of those bubble envelopes though I guess....hahahaha

I guess they know collectors can get about the condition of their boxes lol

I got the same lol

did they ship yours in the center? They put my two dorbz in the corner. They had to ship me a replacement and they sent it in a "regular" size box that would of very easily fit two dorbz

Better overkill, then just kill-kill....

Oh that’s hilarious! At least they didn’t squish your boxes with all those air bags

that’s funny. I’m glad they arrived ok. Sometimes too much is a bad thing because they bounce around so much.

Not in the center. One was in a corner and the other was buried below the pillow packs about a 1/3 of the way from the corner on the opposite side from the other. It felt like air when I picked up the box. I almost threw my back out expecting more. lol

I believe he FORCED them to use a bigger box. When the warehouse people went for a puff pack, they heard "I find your lack of proper shipping procedure disturbing"

I had this same situation happen. I ordered the whole SW Dorbz set, and my Han Solo came damaged. They sent me out a replacement Han in THE SAME HUGE SIZED Box, full of air pillows, and one little Dorbz package in the corner. Just a complete waste of packaging and space. Alas, my Han Solo arrived unharmed! Lol!

My few orders from Disney store have all come boxed like that.

they did the same thing for me...but when I ordered two of each of the star wars dorbz rides and they put those in too small of a box -.- haha can't win!

It's an inverse relationship equation...The smaller the items, the bigger the box and the reverse if the items are larger. I get it now. See smaller items will get thrown around a lot in a box, so they need a ton of packing protection, so hence the reason for a huge box. Items like Dorbz Ridez are bigger and when they are jammed into a box slightly smaller than they are, they tend not to move around. :roflmao:

Yeah, that does suck. I went through that with getting a Toys-R-Us exclusive Groot w/Bomb. After 4 tries, they got it right. I think someone walked into the warehouse and made sure that it was packed with TLC...probably they outsourced from the Disney Store warehouse.

I've had issues with TRU too, I just gave up on getting good boxes. I'm glad Hot Topic and Box Lunch have gotten it right though. Always get perfect boxes with them now!

Hot Topic has come a long way. They use to be pretty bad but i assume they have had enough complaints to change their ways.

They have and I know I greatly appreciate them protecting the Funko Pops! and Dorbz better.

So I got another box from Disney and this one had 2 of the GOTG 2-Packs. The box was just about right for them and they came through unharmed. Maybe they got the two orders mixed up and the 2 single dorbz was meant for this box and the 2 2-packs was meant for the huge one. :roflmao:

Doesn’t get much better than double boxing. I try to double box when i send stuff out as much as i can.

That is very nice of them I agree! Target has recently started to use these boxes as well from what I recently saw.

I think the only retailer that has learned how to properly ship is HT. I love the individual boxes the put each pop/dorbz in now.

I like that Target is sending the Pops! in a box, then putting that one inside a bigger one. The interior box is the perfect size to use for one Pop!, that is inside one of those HT/Funko Shop boxes and having that box wrapped by one layer of Green bubble wrap from Funko. I don't have to go to Staples or Office Depot as long as I keep buying Pops! from those two retailers. Now if I can only get them to send me rolls of packing tape too. ;-)

WOW. Especially after I read the comment that someone said it can hold 56 Dorbz... that’s a lot more than overkill haha

Still better than TRU packaging. I got a dorb in a bubble envelope :/

I got a bag of dog treats that was the size of a small bag of chips from Amazon once that was in a box that was about 3x3 feet. It was full of bags of air. I was so amazed that I did a unboxing video and posted it to their FB.

Yep! They apologized for the shipping box and said they will do better next time. I thought it was one of the funniest things ever.

Haha! It would be nice if tape could be reused as well. Thankfully I don’t send out often enough so the stuff I get from the shop take care of all the boxes and green bubble wrap I could need.
