That’s what I was thinking, more boxes = more chances for UPS to mess up lol

True. I was thinking along the lines of if one box with 3 pops gets damaged, all 3 are more than likely toast. If they are redeemed separately, if one small box gets damaged, the other 2 are ok. But yes, dealing in large amounts is a gamble. If redeeming a lot, I'd almost opt to have them hold everything at a UPS store and go get them myself.


I think separate is the best way to go and the single box it comes in is pretty strong.

That’s true, it is a pretty sturdy box

Yeah, luck and depending on your neighborhood drivers. If you tend to get damaged packages in general often, then it might not matter how many you redeem at a time.

Mine was shipped to Singapore direct and during this timing I’m praying so hard my parcel will be in good condition!

So far so good with everything I have redeemed. Then again, delivery service in my area is outstanding. Every so often they will chuck something over the fence but for the most part, it's been great service.

I agree. Single boxes seem the best way. I redeemed my first set, Transformers, each individually. Fingers crossed they make it safely home someday lol

Good luck with the redemptions. Now the only thing I have to worry about is the rain. If it's not one thing, it's another... lol

And just as your reply was coming in, the post office leaves some football slabs on top of my mailbox, because they didn't fit through the slot, and left the flap open so that all that rain water could get in. ](*,)

I'm going to put my 2 cents in and say that redeeming them one by one is the best play. I did that with DC Series 1 and all have came in great shape.

I've redeemed all at once and they have all come in fine. But other friends have been redeeming 2 at a time to reduce damage.

This is true even with singles. Never misses that one sorter is unlatched and the Pop is moving around in there.

So far I've had luck with My shipments. I've only gotten one or two from certain sets so shipping isn't crazy and my stuff has come in nice. I think the more you have coming the better chances of damage.

Recent deliveries the shipping box and sorter have been pristine. It's the Pop box that has showed up with rips and folds. Someone isn't being careful at the warehouse... lol

I’ve had 2-3 small tears from what I imagine is the worker ripping it when putting the Pop in the box :(

There's no rhyme or reason, but I get the most mint boxes when I order in twos. Last time I ordered in threes, I received a damaged pop, and one order was totally incorrect. Ordering one at a time seems like a foolproof plan also.

As many people have said, one at a time is the best way. I learned my lesson early on when I redeemed all together. The bigger the box, the higher chance it has of getting damaged while being delivered.

I always redeem mine all together and have never gotten any damaged ones (knock on wood). You should be fine.

I think 1 at a time is the safest since you get the biggest box. But then you have multiple shipments if you get a set and higher chances of damaged or lost packages

Probably mentioned 100x but my friends that have done single pop redemptions havent had issues.

In saying that tho i have only done multy and havent had a problem. I think it really is deliverys choice when it comes to the condition that they arrive in but if your super worried i would go with doing singles if its something that would cause you to die if it was damaged.
