Packing Collectibles for SHIPPING Safely - Tips for Statues, Props, Replicas, and more

[@TheIcemanModdeler]

Thanks for the tips, I made some statues and thinking about packaging, doing some tests in 3d how packaging would look like if big companies would go about it with packing foam.

That's the next level, great work. Even mapping out some basic cardboard supports is a good touch. helpful with resin parts

hi! great video, I was wondering if you knew what postal service is best to send these types of fragile collectible items? thank you :)

[@kevdeovideo]

No matter who you go with, there's always a risk. USPS, FedEX, UPS... Depends on who's handling the package behind the scenes. Ive had good and bad experiences with all. As a general rule, its better to avoid slow shipping options though. The longer a large package spends in transit, the higher likelihood it will get beat up.

UPS takes a lot better care of their packages then usps or fedex.

is news paper damaging to polystone? BTW?

[@kevdeovideo]

Not really, but the printed ink could transfer to the paint in some cases. Thats why i recommend unprinted soft paper. Basically tissue paper, or packing paper.

I beg to differ on the usage of extra tape . I ordered 2 sets of plates from 2 different places and once used your method . The other truly used a tape roll and then Brown package wrap. While I didn’t like (kids did) unwrapping the extra tape, the plates were perfect. The other ones had small chip on the edge

Hi, I had a quick question. For Statues an collectibles that come in multiple pieces would this same technique work? Let’s say I don’t have the original box. Hope you get a chance to read this and I love your content

On a different note, in one of your vids you said you have display cabinets from Ikea. What brand? I'm especially interested in the tall one where you have the Blade Runner Blasters in. Are the shelves adjustable, do my 1/6 scale (12") figures fit there if you remove the glass shelves (probably not with), how many cubbies (with/out glass shelves), do they come with doors? These kinds of questions. Don't really want to go the Detolf route.

Those are Ikea Billys, with some upgrades. I'll do a video on those at some point.

I like the video
