So im having a really stressful life lately and with my house taxes due im afraid im going to have to sell my paradise estate. I need some pointers on how to ship it. Should i do a couple boxes or try for one really big box?... I guess ill prolly need alot of bubble wrap but i need some tips and luck :(
-
When mine was posted the seller bubble wrapped all the bits and put it in one large box.
I found that it was useful to have all the accessories for a particular room wrapped in bubble wrap and placed inside for shipping, that way when i opened everything it was easy to check it was all there :)
-
Ah I'm sorry you have to sell it :( best of luck with your sale :hug:
-
When I bought mine the seller posted it in its original box wrapped in brown paper...something I wasn't too thrilled about but it arrived safe and sound. She wrapped the accessories together in plastic bags and packed them into the building. I was only charged $20 or $30 for shipping.

I am sorry you are having to sell - hugs
As others have suggested "breaking" the set up into as small sections as possible [probably including separating out the "glass" in the canopy] and then bubble wrapping everything to excessive levels especially the crackable elements of the building - and then use packing peanuts or styrofoam or air packing to ensure nothing presses against one another in transit...oh and write Fragile all over the box!

I think you would save on shipping if you did one big box. It's really not all that heavy.
I would definitely bubblewrap the roof parts and the accessories. The buildings are pretty sturdy and if you but a bubblerap layer in the box before you but the buildings in, it should be fine :)

I forgot to mention that i have the original box as well but dont know what to do with it either...

Flat pack the box inside the box you send the PE in.
Or if no one wants the box, I would buy it ( depending on postage cost) you could send it folded up :)

You should offer the box along with the set as you may find that helps sell it...and if not sell it to Party and I ll ambush and "borrow" it from her post man as he is on route to deliver :P
-
I'd take the whole thing off your hands and the box... mwah ah ha ha ha...
I think everyone has some great shipping advice. Remember if you do ship to Europe USPS really doesn't offer tracking... scary!
