my evilbay seller chucked a group of G1s in a box!

oh yeah I would have had a cow if the box was damaged and the ponies were in danger of falling out because of inadequate packaging, that's not acceptable, but the rest of it sounds typical

I think it depends on how much space is in the box. If the ponies are wrapped together but aren't flying around I think it's fine as long as they aren't mint. Of course, if they are minty and are for display I think it's nice to wrap each one is a plastic bag. It doesn't have to be bubble wrap or anything.

It's more so that the hair doesn't become a mess than anything.

I don't know why packaging things are so hard for some people. It just seems like everyone packages things horribly. Probably half the sellers I have bought from have packaged items in an inappropriate way. You don't have to use bubble wrap etc, but use something like newspaper and an adequate box so that it gets there without almost getting destroyed.

Let us know how the seller responds.

that's why I don't buy minty ponies, did it once, disappointed, never doing it again. I usually buy ponies that need work but are salvageable :3

I like to buy lots of baits and make them gorgeous again, half the time all I have to do is brush their hair and they're perfect again

most people don't adequately package things to keep them in good condition, so I get them in crappy condition and make them pretty again

hi ya'll! i got a response. She was very nice, says she usually ships them that way, but will consider more packaging. She swore she taped it better, but meh... I think it is the cheap tape in combo with the DA at USPS that missent it ( which is what the NOLA stop says now).

so, she got a positive , but I did not comment as I normally do about "nicely packaged"

Glad it all got worked out :-)

I'm glad your seller acknowledged your suggestions on better packing.

And I'm also glad to see that you seem to feel a little better about the situation.

   good to hear she responded! lets hope she has learned from this experience and improves her packaging in the future

Well, I'm glad they made it to you!  I think it's lucky that they didn't get opened and lost in the mail.  I'm glad the seller was proffesional in their response, though.
