DPD is really the worst of the available companies here. I had to file 5 damage reports in the past years and I try to never use DPD because they always play soccer with the box. Quote

I always mark the parcel as a gift now. Not sure if it helps but, i haven't had it happen since I started doing that. Edited January 29 by CsabaLazlo 1 Quote

Not sure if it helps but, i haven't had it happen since I started doing that. I think the shipping box may have been destroyed. I had a FBM customer complain one time that their set arrived just like this one -- no box with label slapped on. Assuming UPS reiterates sticker and sends without shipping box. Quote

gmpirate Posted February 3 Posted February 3 Is it just completely random when Amazon ships in the retail box? I received my second AS today beat-up, taped and labeled. I know "now" there is a box to check to make sure it ships in an outside box but I have never done so ever and never received a Lego set without a box. And that's a lot of years of buying Lego not to have this happen. I mostly just fire off these orders without thinking but I guess I need to pause and make sure from now on. Irritating . . . 😠 Quote

Darth Kukoo Posted February 4 Posted February 4 Amazon needs to rephrase that option to IDC packaging: I don't care if it arrives looking like it was towed behind the truck. Who do they think wants this option? 1 Quote

But camaros I dont think are being remade? Quote

That's where you find the "“Star Wars” spaceships, for example, routinely sell for north of $1,000. A set that turns into Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon fluctuates between $1,000 and $4,000, according to the website Work + Money." 3 Quote
