Tips for shipping dolls?

What would be the best way to ship a loose Monster High doll?
 
One of my friends suggested a poster mailing tube. What do y'all think?

I've recieved loose dolls on box and bubbled evelope and they came perfect in both cases. The trick really is how you wrap them inside the wichever container you are gonna use.

It's particularly important to not use things like colored paper and plastic bags with color/ink when initially wrapping the doll. They can be even more prone to staining than ponies!


If I ship a doll loose, I prefer to use a box (although I have shipped out a LPS Blythe in just a bubble mailer), and make sure to wrap it in acid free paper, or print-free paper towels. I also take any accessories that may come loose and seal them in a zippy bag, so they don't get lost.

Thank you! I didn't want to go all out and buy the most expensive thing on the market, but I wanted to make sure everthing would be safe and secure.

The dolls I've received have been wrapped in bubble wrap and then inside a well-padded box (usually white tissue paper or more bubble wrap).  My newest Pullip came in a really banged up box, I was so afraid when I opened it!  But she was well-packaged and totally unharmed.

with a monster high, if you wrap it in an obscene amount of bubblewrap (do one or two layers around her torso, then put her hands down and put more around her. might wrap her legs separately too)  you should be fine with a bubblemailer.
Just make sure that when pushing on the mailer, that all you feel pushing back is bubblewrap.

Can be a pain finding boxes to ship dolls in.
