Important Thread For All Traders!!!

Guys I am starting this thread to address a problem I and maybe a few others have had when shipping parts for customs. Twice now I have recieved torn envelope with missing pieces. The envelopes were damaged in th postal system. Now I am not gonna give the poor guys who sent me stuff negative feedback, but shipping parts in plain envelopes is askin for trouble. Many post offices use some automated machinery in sorting mail. This is great for flat stuff, but not if it has items like helmets, backpacks, heads or anything else Joe in it. You gotta use bubble mailers to ship this stuff. That way the PO sorts it differently. I know it's apain to have to spend like at extra 70 cents on a mailer and it will cost a little more in postage but it takes care of the fellow tanker and ensures he doesn't get a torn open empty envelope like I just did. I always use bubble mailers. I keep the ones I get stuff in and reuse them again and again as long as they will safely ship the contents. Just bringin this to everyone's attention.

Yea i here you i never send parts in a Regular envelope thats just asking for Trouble sorry to hear of your loss brotha
by the way i sent out your M.O. today for the figz

Very good point.

Indeed!

I'll go one further, everyone should use small boxes! Even bubble mailers can be destroyed. Here's a few examples of items I've gotten in bubble mailers:

Listen N Fun Tripwire

The backpack peg was broken, the front of the backpack was ground down a little and the foot on Tripwire was ground down


This is the bubble mailer Tripwire came in



Night Force Night Striker Sled

The window was bent and the sled itself was crushed. The sled was in a bubble mailer and was also wrapped in babble wrap!






I realise that these examples are more the exception and not the rule, but in both cases, it happened to hard to find pieces. Thank god it wasn't a Gold Head Steel Brigade figure or a Starduster

Always trade with SHOGI.. he put my items in a bubble envelope and THEN... he put that in a box and sealed it! Very nice Shogi!

I once received a JLU figure in a regular envelope. Unbelievable.

sorry, I was one of the white envelope guys. thats just how i knew when to send it out. my system is flawed and i am working to fix that. Bigdaddy has been more than patient as have most of you in these cases. thank you. for your trouble bidaddy i resent the head and a few other items you need in a bubble mailer!

Man there was no need to out yourself. Now I feel bad. I didn't want anyone's trade cred to go down over this.

Anyone reading this thread...Unknown Soldier is a good guy, he's taking good care of me. Please don't hesitate to trade with him because of this.

Crap happens. It's what we do about it that matters and Unknown Soldier is responding excellently.

i always used bubble mailors. a tanker once sent me stuff in a little box, an that came open an crushed. but im not sure if there was missing pcs though. but i havent had a prob recieving anything in a bubble mailor. when i send a figure, i try to make it as flat as possible. but i geuss them the breaks when using the usps
