exracer327 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) If I'm ordering a small qty and / or smallish LEGO sets from Target I will only do in-store pick up to avoid receiving shipments in garment bags. My last two orders I have picked up from Target I have had to ask for replacement LEGO because the sets placed in my bag had been crushed. *facepalm* Edited October 28, 2020 by exracer327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have started to catch on a bit, however, as at least the giant sized boxes they send the sets now have air pillows in them. The latest set was packaged fairly well, but alas, once I got to the Lego it was smooshed nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TANV Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Ugh. Seriously, Amazon? I'm wondering if I should send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimking23 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Zavvi, shipping from the UK with DHL, deliverer my packages in better condition than Amazon shipping from a couple of hundred mile away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Amazon sent me a box of 14 Winter Fire Stations in a box the size of a small coffin. 5 of them were damaged - 2 are toast and 3 have minor damage . If anyone wants one for cost for a persona build pm me. The rest get returned Monday Edited October 31, 2020 by FM 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just counted back and I have 22 orders with Zavvi. Every single one have arrived unmolested. That's from the UK to rural Alabama. Not too bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANV Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 So my 77905 Taskmaster Ambush was supposed to arrive. I just got an empty envelope with parts torn and cut open. What. The. Bloody. Eff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Bought three sets via Target to get $10 GC. Made them in-store pickup because Target keeps mailing me sets in garment bags where they get crushed. Third set, which put me over $50 was a minecraft polybag. Target, in their infinite wisdom, sent me the polybag set in... a BOX! *facepalm* Edited November 3, 2020 by exracer327 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 My Taskmaster Ambush came in bubble mailer. Had I sent my FBM items in these kinds of packaging I would have been AtoZ-ed up the wazoo. Bright side is I do not have to deal with the box divas when selling it on eBay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_bricks Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Another Taskmaster set sent in a bubble mailer. A Las Vegas set in a separate bubble mailer, but same delivery. Both creased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is Zavvi easy to deal with? I got 7 campervans today. They sent them in a huge cardboard box of which I have never seen such a flimsy wall, literally felt like tissue paper. pretty bad damage to 3 of them, 2 are okay the last 2 are not the greatest either. Will they refund me and let me return or am I up for a battle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you accept the offer, the refund is processed the following day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to hear of someone successfully getting a partial refund. Would you care to share the details of how much and what set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
