Anybody get a shipping notice from SS yet???
Not me, but the money is gone. Getting mine packed out so maybe it'll go out tomorrow.
I procrastinated on the pack out so now both of my EX figures are being shipped where they will get beat the hell up by UPS.
Good luck with that, jimmie.
I work outside and everyday see UPS guys dumping boxes onto concrete sidewalks, then onto hand carts and cringe at how many of them have crushed corners -- besides, I lile my shippers pristine and label free.
You can have Sideshow put an automatic pack-out notice on your account. That's what I did.
Now they just pack-out anything I order.
Good minds think alike. I just called SSC to see if I could get a pack out on Marty to which the rep replied, "no" as the package is on the truck shipping out tonight. I requested pack out on all future orders. I don't like having to pay extra for this where other retailers do it free of charge, but 90% of all SSC orders end up with damaged boxes so I guess I gotta go with the pack out.
I set my account up this way last year, it does suck to have to pay extra for a service provided for free from other retailers, but seeing as that's the only way to get stuff from sideshow undamaged its worth the extra 10 dollars to protect a 200-300+ collectable
They double box it so the hot toys shipping box doesn't get beat up or have shipping stickers all over it.I'm sorry to ask a stupid question guys...but what exactly is a "pack out"? Extra packaging to prevent shipping damage? I've been fortunate to not have any damaged packages from the Sideshow orders I've done. So far...
I've never received a damaged box from ss and I've never requested a pack out. Granted I don't order a lot, but still.Good minds think alike.
