Alternately I've had some lovely sellers practically gift wrap my ponies for me, so that unboxing them was like having a miniature surprise birthday party for myself. I always appreciate the sellers who put that extra sweet finishing touch on a parcel, just because they can. Always nice to meet people who take pride in what they do, even if it's just wrapping a pony!

They always wrap everything so nicely in the box. It seriously does feel like Christmas. Normally tissue paper and a bow inside the shipping bow which is then surrounded by bubble wrap to keep it safe.
I had a pony arrive in a toblerone ice cream box this week. I guess she needed an en route snack, because there was no ice cream in it when she arrived
My personal favorite was an Applause plush shipped in a bubble mailer that was *barely* big enough to fit it. When I went to the apartment office to pick it up, it had burst open at the bottom. The pony's legs and part of its rear end were hanging out the bottom of the envelope. The receptionist gave me the package, and as I left the office I could hear everyone laughing:pI've gotten various food boxes, including frozen dinners, cereal boxes, and a frozen spinach box.I once got a box of ponies that made it all the way to my house before giving up completely. I brought it inside, and suddenly the entire box just fell apart in my hands as soon as I closed the door! I couldn't believe it. One second, I had a box of ponies in my hands. The next second I had a pile of cardboard at my feet, and a bunch of ponies in my hands. I never realized that they made self-opening boxes!I had one seller use "The Weekly World News" as padding. I loved that! http://weeklyworldnews.com/
Maybe I'm more evil, but I probably would have sent it. >.> Packaging is just packaging right?
Hmm the usual I guess.. cat food boxes, cereal boxes, ripped envelopes.....but the funniest two have to be when I bought a few ponies from different sellers and my hubby paid for them on his account... so they came addressed to my hubby instead of me the first was wrapped in a waterproof bright pink bubble mailer , and the second one came addressed to him in a pastel pink box with pictures of fairies and princesses on I told another collector on here (a friend) that I was going to post him some ponies in this particular box and sent him a pic and he nearly freaked out in panic at the thought that the ponies were turning up at his apartment addressed to him in *that* box. I'll admit it was a bit of an evil joke - I did have to tell him I was only joking to put him out of his misery lol - just UK sense of humor I guess
