Both packages were cardboard boxes but one was that wrapped around kind with no bubble wrap while the other was a box with the air bubbles in there. Great poll by the way.
Voted: Boxed with bubblewrap
Any time you're shipping collectible, condition sensitive items, they need to be well protected. Especially considering the premium price usually paid.
My Target package was litterally wrapped in used cardboard! A miracle there was no damage.
Wreck, that would seem to be the case. A few shots of the packaging for my orders:
They did a pretty good job at least in my case. Maybe for that box, they could have used a little more stuffing/air bubbles but like others who reported here, surprisingly there was no major damages.
Box with bubble wrap. Mine came flawless despite the flimsy cardboard sleeves they used. But packaging for fragile collector's items cannot be the same as for Amaray cases. This is especially true for items with limited runs, that can't even be exchanged, if damaged. I see the packaging used for this stuff regularly on the logistics side, and how special, limited eds are stored and packaged. Definitely continue to provide feedback and hopefully this will change over time.
