How to fix damaged box?

[potato]

Well I have the opportunity to have both my 1st 2 3A figures shipped separately from different seller damaged on the art box, maybe it's just something about 3A.

But am wondering is there any good ways of repairing damaged boxes, especially dent/squashed ones.

Usually for normal box i just lay the damaged area on the floor and use my fingernail to scrap it to even out the area so it look less damaged, but 3A uses thicker cardboard so i had to flatten the inner part together but the mark's still visible unless i apply some force to push the surface outwards but it won't hold on it's own.

I've been thinking about damping the area & iron it with a cloth on top but not sure how well it will turn out.

I don't know why some people just don't know how to pack. 1 came with big carton box but badly reinforced, the other came with paperbag assuming the original brown shipping box can prevent damage...

It might have got to the seller that way. Many of my boxes coming from 3A are damaged. They just use an outer shipper. The shipping box should be a bit bigger to line the box with padding. All the original De Plumes have ding boxes.

The way things are now, any ding the shipper box gets, the inner box will surely have.

If you are going to attempt a 'repair' the retail packaging, then that is probably the best method.. steam iron through a dry dish cloth, do not wet cardboard first.. afterwards place cardboard between two dry dish clothes with a heavy book / books on top and a hard flat surface underneath, somewhere warm and dry for a week.. you may still find the cardboard 'ripples' but its worth a try, since the box is damaged anyway.

Some sellers who stock many gets them shipped in big box without the brown shipper box.

Also my seller box condition was pristine when he listed it, when it arrives i get big dent because he sent it without any additional protection.
