Holy crap! Are the figures okay? Looks like an elephant sat on that box... maybe a herd of them.

Wow, you are a good person! I'd be furious if that was me and my package arrived like that. Just looking at your first picture it looks like he just wrapped the four boxes in paper and didn't even put them in a separate box, let alone a box with packaging material to protect the goods. I'd definitely complain about that. By the way, did you pay for insurance? Because I think you should get a refund. A lot of people keep the boxes in pristine shape because in the future you may want to sell your figures and they will be worth more with the boxes in good condition.

Leave him BAD feedback!
That will teach him a lesson!

If you want to see the other pics, copy and paste the entire link and then remove the space between the U and the V.
Yeah, that's horrible packing. If the figures and accessories aren't damaged, I personally wouldn't give the person negative feedback. I'd leave neutral feedback. The boxes for the Hush figures suck anyway. It's the later figures that have boxes that are nice to display.

Eck... that is horrable!
I would be so insulted if I bought something and got that.

I believe you said you paid by PayPal? Correct? If so, then use their contact centre and file a "Items did not arrive in expected condition" claim and a similar claim with eBay. The way those how been shipped is disgusting and both as a collector and seller on odd occasions I am disgusted. Brown paper and some tape is not adequate protection for shipping. Those pictures will sure support your case with both eBay and PayPal. Sheesh, what a jerk!  The value of those figures has been reduced in the future now for the state of the boxes, go after his ass over it and get some money back. BTW, what was the shipping on your shipping label? (Nowhere near $100 I bet). |

the shipping cost was $19 CDN which is $15.68 USD. So Considering I have him $25 USD cause that's what was listed. I don't really care as long as I have the items lol. I do wish the boxes were in better condition cause I normally keep those.

I was just thinking...has the person already left you feedback? If not and you choose to leave negative feedback, the person may unjustifiably do the same to you. Who knows...a neutral could even elicit the same response. Just something to consider.

Wow, that's really CRAPPY packaging.  Anybody with any brains and self-respect would NEVER pack a box like that. The really stupid thing is that if he had put it in a box, the price of shipping probably wouldn't have changed too much as long as he picked an appropriately sized box. I don't ship $5 items like that let alone collectors' items. Gaaaah. Even getting a box from the liquor store would have worked. Even if he didn't have a box, putting hard cardboard pieces around the outside would have prevented the damage. Did he even put the outer figures with the box facing inwards (ie, the plastic window was pointing inward rather outward where it was sure to get squashed?) Email him back with these photos and ask for some kind of compensation. I hate threatening people with Paypal but really, this is totally unacceptable. Even if it is a few bucks or something. It's terrible when an Ebay purchase is ruined like that....it's bad for everybody who uses Ebay. Argh....what an idiot. |

Maybe they won't notice in time. |
