BrickStanley74 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 17 hours ago, BaconBits said: I have noticed the same thing in last few months even with a few shipments from Amazon and Walmart. Kohls used to be hit or miss for me, and now almost everything including bigger boxes are just wrapped in plastic or envelope. Target for me is the only one that I always have gotten LEGO shipments in a box. Even for personal build, sometimes the box is so damaged the stickers, instructions, and parts are damaged as well. Then they ship a partial order with just minifig packs and put those in a box, but ship the larger LEGO $100-200 set in plastic or envelope. With the ongoing situation, things are rough in the shipping department and quality is slipping. I had always had the same consistency from Target as well....until this week when a Hogwarts Express arrived via plastic bag, completely bashed to pieces and most of the seals unhinged.

I received some Beauxbaton Carriages in a Little Debbie box the other day, so yes, it appears they are getting creative. They arrived in mint condition though so it was all good. That box would concern me though since it's not fully closed on top. Yikes... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joch29 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Not sure which is worse a crushed box from shipping in a bag or a box that had some sort of detergent/ soap spill and permeated into the lego box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got two Assembly Squares from Walmart last week that we're damaged in transit and then reboxed by FedEx and delivered by a truck that had a detergent spill in it so you don't have to decide! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still showing 6 total on order, but only got shipping notifications for 2 so far. I don't have much experience with Target and max quantity orders... do they cancel? Notification? Forever hold the order? EDIT: Literally as I submitted this reply I got another shipping notification. Sitting at 3/6, not bad and I would be happy with that (seeing as that's the max qty per order).

Pseudoty Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Mine are shipping 1 at a time probably shipping from stores so they will have that sticker on them that comes off easy.

The ones I got in store were still shipped to the store from elsewhere, but were definitely packed well in correctly sized boxes. The sets were pristine. The ones I had sent to home; 2 were perfect and 2 were blemished, crushed a tad. They were sent in Walmart brand packing boxes (like you would buy when moving).

I picked up two orders at Walmart in the past two days. Huge boxes filled with brown paper, the other with air pillows.

RightDwigt Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Well thanks Target... usually they use a giant box and have the set roll around in there, but this is a new low! They are consistently the worst retailer as far as box condition upon arrival. I can't pretend to understand what it's like to work in a fulfillment center but jeez, you'd think someone would know a polybag isn't adequate for an "adult collector's" set. On the other hand, Walmart has consistently delivered the most pristine and well packed sets I've ever received. Strange as that goes against the grain compared to most people's experiences here.

I picked one of those up from a local Target yesterday. Even there it had a crease in it like someone swung it into a shelf. idk, I'm getting less and less confident ordering LEGO from Target. I will not order the smallest LEGO sets through the mail as they all come in garment bags like yours did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
