My order status

[gmpirate]

Yeah, I ordered a couple to test.  Just hesitant to order a bunch at once.

What are people's experience with ordering multiple sets like 75309 Gunship on Amazon?  Are they all shipped separately or do they throw multiples in big boxes?  thanks  I know the biggest sets ship separately -- i.e.  Death Star, Star Destroyer, etc. but these?

I ordered two Mos Eisleys from Amazon.  They came inside the LEGO clamshell shipping box and both in a large Amazon box.  That set is big but fairly skinny.  I ordered two Disney Castles and they came separately boxed.  If Amazon is low on stock at a location, it's possible that you might receive two separate boxes no matter what since they may come from two separate fulfillment centers.  Amazon fulfillment moves in strange and mysterious ways.

Just got a shipping notification for my Studgate train station. I noticed the credit card hold a few days ago. Nothing on the other two sets I've ordered from this round, though.

I've been quite happy with the switch to UPS.

Received 2x Gunship 75309 thrown in one big box -- no other packaging, air pillows, or paper stuffing.

Frustration free cartons, or just the Gunships naked in the box?

Ugh…now what am I supposed to think about this? My Best Buy Bowser sale order came in. Box had only minimal bend damage. But all the seals looked like their adhesive faded and they no longer hold. Not like they were pulled but just don’t stick. Do I need to worry about missing bags or pieces?

No minifigs so unlikely. Since it is open you can just verify the contents 22 numbered bags.

Still Euro boxes?

New packaging from Lego. GWPs came in a separate box and the UCS X-Wing came in a box specifically sized for it. No filler needed.

Looks like FFP like the ones amazon has

I placed some orders on 7/1 from Lego to get the Disney 100th GWP. Lego merged 4 of the orders into one UPS ticket each with its own tracking. I have never seen them do that before. Anyway 2 of them never arrived while the other 2 arrived last Thursday. I spoke to Lego today and they said ups is no longer scanning their packages either on pickup and that they are most likely lost. She placed a replacement order but they are waiting for new stock. At least I will know when the GWP gets a restock.

31120 Target orders arrived today all in oversized boxes with too many air pillows but no damage. Amazon came in FF boxes, still waiting on Walmart and BB.

31120 Walmart arrived in great shape one with minor shelf wear. 2 of 5 BB arrived and they are the worst so far. Will wait for the other 3 arriving Friday to decide what to do if anything.

Received mine from Amazon double-boxed inside frustration free.

Not trying to yuck your yummy but most reliable retirement rumor mill on Reddit says retirement of this set just got pushed back to Dec 2025.  Id return the damaged ones if these are for investing.

The other 3 arrived from a warehouse in CA all open loose retapped with 2 stickers on each. They are all going back today

Thank you FEDEX Ground!  This is where they left a deliver of a storage rack, over 200 feet from my home and out of sight of the front door.  About 3 feet from a busy roadway.  Of course, it was gone by the time that I found out it was down there.

Good job, Best Buy!  They went to the trouble to sticker all six sets that I ordered before boxing them for shipping.

How are those stickers? Easy to remove?

At least those are easy to remove.  I expected them to ship in bubble mailers.

Slow and easy did the trick.  I found that, for some odd reason, if you started with the top (red) part and pulled down, it was the easiest to remove.  Don't start at a corner and pull down.  Instead, go all the way across the top until the entire top is loose.  Then go down.  Take them off right away and you shouldn't have an issue.  It's just irritating.

I always apply heat to every sticker I remove, just in case.
