SideShow Stop cheaping out with shipping material !!!

[Webb]

Okay I bought T-1000 from CornerStoreComics/AmazingToyz came packed beautifully with the original Hot Toys cardboard box inside a bigger thick mailing box stuffed with peanuts.100% Professional.

SideShow sent me a T-800 in the Hot Toys box alone.Not even extra taping was done.Luckily it wasn't a international shipping.

How come Corner Store can do a better shipping job than SideShow ? They are 100 times smaller.

SS does a great job packing my items. They just don't like you.

every item SS ships out has the name of the product on the outside of the box.

No the box is from Hot Toys,SideShow just put the mailing label and sent it out.

i know, they've always done that with ever HT piece i have ordered through them. If their gonna put the name of the product on the outside of a $2k item, what difference does it make on a $150 item?

That's why they're called "shippers" guys.

Maybe Hot Toys should send them to the Sideshow warehouse with better packaging.

As much as Webb is a douche I see what he's saying. The "shippers" SS uses offer no protection. Places like AE sell the same product for 10% less and can still add the extra protection of the added shipping box.

Get er done....SS.....

 

[devilof76]

Yeah, but...

But...




I guess.

If you have a problem with the box, send it back for a better one. This is really some retentive ____ guys. "Hey, what lame ____ can we _____ at Sideshow for this week?"

Ive always received my items with no problems or damage, though I agree it shouldnt say what it is on the outside of the box.

i dont like it either, but i dont read about any cases of stolen SS products cause they almost always have the recipient sign for it.

Alter Ego (who I assume is AE) sent me the Emperor's throne in the shipper box, and it arrived damaged.

I've never received a damaged box from Sideshow. Have you noticed how thick those shipper boxes are?? I think shipping is what Sideshow does best. . .

Good point, and I have everything ive ordered

 

[Balsquat]

Nothing wrong with the Regular hot Toys shipper in my opinion. Its pretty much the same practice with Toys2 and other top retailers.

I would like a free t-shirt and a ferrari with every purchase. Sideshow make it happen!

 

[Q]

Me too... I got my guardian predator shipped only in the shipper! Damn Sideshow, stop being cheap....

____, and a check to cover six months of the mortgage payment and a year's membership to Pebble Beach Golf Course. Why quit while you're ahead?

I could just as easily argue here that Sideshow's not the one being cheap guys. Order more stuff or duplicates, and you can get it packaged together in a bigger box.

While I rarely see the OP do anything more than complain I will say that I am not a big fan of the extremely crumbly foam that SS has switched to for quite a bit of their product. It has also been known to do more damage comparably to product with rubbing etc -- Patient Zero PF comes to mind.
