Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
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

Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
I love shipping the pops I sell in protectors, then in a sorter, and then a small wrap of bubble wrap . 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'd prefer my shipped pop to be in a protector and bubble wrapped in a 8x8x8 box

Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
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

Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
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.

Re: Shipping pops
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

Re: Shipping 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.

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

Re: Shipping pops
I’m glad hard stacks are bettter now. Once had a hard stack puncture a Funko box. So sad.

Re: Shipping pops
I just received some nfts and it looks like funko changed up there packing. It was wrapped in styrofoam paper, the sorter was a little bit the same and the box was different.

Re: Shipping pops
I do pop protectors, wrap and box also sometimes when it’s a really high dollar pop I double box it.

Re: Shipping pops
In the past when I’ve sold stuff off I always use a pop protector. Then I use 9x9x9 boxes and surround it with packaging peanuts or bubble wrap. Thats how I want pops shipped so I ship them how I’d like them to be shipped to me.

Re: Shipping pops
I use 8x6x6 boxes. Lower end pops I use sorters and anything up 70 I use soft protectors and anything more a hard stack. Got bubbelwrap and paper to help full some of the gaps but not all of it and haven't gotten a complaint yet
