Re: Shipping pops
So many companies ship poorly
Target is hit or miss to me
Amaazon used to be good now it really is hit or miss
Walmart just sucks at shipping
Chalice is great but they are a collectible company
Gemini ships well
Fugtive as well

Got to admit buying online the shipping tends to be hot of miss. Best advice I've seen is if you can buy a case for the best chance of efficient shipping

Re: Shipping pops
I definitely prefer the sorters that retailers receive Pops! in. Every once in a while, I’ll get the sorters labeled “do not open unless you’re the buyer” (or something lines off that) from Amazon, and they’ve always been immaculate upon receipt.
Funko Goals:
-Attend Fundays
-Win a prototype
-Collect all Ewok-related Pops!

Re: Shipping pops
Bubble wrap and a protector. Doesn’t have to be a fancy protector but I think an important thing is the shipping box itself.
A new and sturdy one.
I’ve purchased pops from mercari and eBay and it’s sometimes very random. Shoe boxes are the worstttt.

Agreed, a new and study box goes a long ways for shipping out pops. Huh.. never received a pop in a shoe box before! Not as bad as someone just bubble wrapping the funko by itself and shipping it that way with shipping label on the wrap. That was wild seeing that come in. To be fair it was... a helpful amount wrapped around the pop... but yikes it came in destroyed

Re: Shipping pops
When I ship them, I put them in an ecotek soft protector wrapped in bubble wrap in a 8x6x4 box. All materials I just get from amazon. If it's something more pricey I stick the pop in a hard stack.

Thanks for your shipping setup. Whats your opinion on bubblewrap substitutes like paper wrapping.

Tbh I just keep my christmas wrapping paper as shipping material, anything that I receive from packages I recycle for shipping material. Otherwise, I order a large roll of bubble wrap from amazon.

I always ship in a Pop Protector, bubble wrapped in a sturdy brown box with paper on all sides.

This is also my preferred way of shipment. If I happen to have some styrofoam popcorn, then I'll throw that in too. One can never be too careful!

I tend to use anything that can take a beating when it comes to packing.

If your paying a lot on shipping then the pop better be protected in a package

Trui tend to personally ship in a medium grade pop protector a bit thicker than normal and bubble wrapped and in a strong box

I feel like its an unpopular take but I feel bubble wrap isn't enough for me if its just one layer or the thin kind of bubble wrap

I agree here. If I ship pops I ship with a soft pop protector and bubble wrapped at a minimum.

Re: Shipping pops
On a slightly related note, I hate it when I open a package and get hit with the smell of cigarettes.
I then have to sniff the pop box like a puppy to see if any of the smell has transferred onto it.
I think most of the time it comes from reused shipping boxes.

I like shipping out pops how i would want them delivered. In a pop protector or armor fully covered in bubble wrapped and all inner box filled with bubble warp

Thank you. So far no complaints but I feel I should invest in better boxes.

It’s always better to invest in something that you think could be better

Re: Shipping pops
I have had pops delivered in a protector and bubble wrap and still came like someone at the post office dropped kicked it and it was all crunched up. (My friend sent it so wasn't like that when sent). I dread anything being shipped until it arrives. Much rather take pops to friend in carry on in a hard stack then risk shipping it

Agree a sorter would be requested with some type of padding.

Re: Shipping pops
My favorite is a sorter. Even when hot topic does the bag thing but they're in sorters they somehow manage to really keep the damage off the pops. Idk how so my preferred shipping method is 100% sorters.

Re: Shipping pops
I have learned from shipping pops over the years to always use a hard plastic protector and bubble wrap.
