How NOT to Ship MOC Action Figures

[@aaronfaulkner5927]

Thanks. I’m new to this. But I completely agree. Key words , “ship it how you would want to receive the same item”.

[@TheIslandViper]

It's amazing how many sellers out there just ship however is the absolute cheapest way they can. It's pretty easy to figure the cost of shipping materials into your price.

I'm new to eBay and I shipped a carded figure in a bubble mailer and it got messed up 🙃 lesson learned won't happen again. luckily no negative feedback

[@TheIslandViper]

At least you learned not to do that again. Lol!

[@tmac2983]

Couldn’t agree more. I stress more when selling because I’m afraid no matter how well I pack an item the delivery service will destroy it. These are not one of a kind items and should be treated as such. I try to make it bomb proof.

I recently purchased an abandoned storage locker with 28 12” gi joe replicas and tons of different gear, guns, and clothing. I know nothing about this hobby. I was hoping maybe you can educate me a bit on exactly what I have.

Hit me up on facebook. My name is Terry Ruin there. Also, you can find me in the Action Media Reviews Facebook group. I’d be happy to help!

@@TheIslandViper I sent you a message on Facebook messenger

[@johnb3948]

Its wreckless and even more its a pain in the ass. Damn man its taking forever to unpack

[@TheIslandViper]

I just saw photos where someone had purchased a MOC V1 snake eyes, and UPS CRUSHED the box… pretty much destroying what was a very nice example of that carded figure. Gotta pack em to be bomb proof it seems.

[@saint00alex]

totally agreed. that being said, ill buy it off ya for 60 if ya like :D

[@TheIslandViper]

I appreciate the offer, but I’ll see if I can straighten the card out a bit with some heat/pressure, or a case.

[@dankcastle9092]

The Smirnoff packaging says a lot

[@TheIslandViper]

Just purely lazy shipping practices.

[@mrbluesteen]

I agree. Collectables like that need to be shipped in a box with plenty of padding.

[@mickeyrighthouse6912]

Fuckery!! Totally give them bad reviews

[@majorblood8132]

for some sellers, they are only toys and not collectibles ...

[@TheIslandViper]

Agreed, but the guy sells collectibles on eBay. He should have known better.

[@takingrainbowsback]

@@TheIslandViper lol, I dont care if I buy a box of rubbers... I dont want the f@ck beat out of it , b4 I even put the f@ck in it.... How did the flattening out go? I have some Figures on cards coming in I know are bent... hoping I can help them out a bit.

[@toddjara9368]

Yeah dude totally annoying to receive anything like that. Been there. If you have a small handheld heat press that might flatten out the waves in your card

[@TheIslandViper]

I have a large heat press. That may help..

[@MontviewBlvdBabiez]

For that price and age of the toy that seller should have known it was mandatory to go in a box!

[@TheIslandViper]

Agreed!

[@gerardofollano8417]

A moron shipped me a MIB vintage speeder bike in a bubble enveloppe, of course it arrived crushed, thankfully got a full refund threw Paypal.

[@TheIslandViper]

Going forward, I always message and ask for a box.

[@takingrainbowsback]

Good thing you got a refund... but the shipper still needs their ass kicked for destroying a piece of History!

[@reprojoebreetz6724]

At least write in red marker fragile. Lol
