Advice on posting the giant g3 plushes please

[nhal039]

The time has come that I have to post a giant wysteria. For those of you that have posted these giants can you please give me some packing advice I don't even know where to begin

What did you ship them in, box or bag?
Did you destuff or not? (I would perfer not to)
how on earth did you squish her into what ever you packed her into

Any pointer that might make packing more quick? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Aw, she's already sold?

[lunar_scythe]

I don't know if you can ship them stuffed anymore?  I've bought 3 and the last 1 had to be shipped unstuffed.

[nhal039]

where did you buy from lunar? I live in nz

How did yours arrive to you?

Ponycake I will let you know if the sale falls through

thanks for the fast replies btw

[ponycake]

Yes please! As long as she's in great shape I wouldn't back out.

The first one was shipped in a bag, the second in a box.  The last one was shipped completely unstuffed,  in a padded envelope.  I'm in the USA, and if I remember right, all of them were mailed from Australia about 7 or 8 years ago

I sent mine in one of those plastic crates you get from the warehouse. And I SQUISHED SQUISHED to send her!

Well, I've had giant boxes that humans can fit into sent to me in the mail, but that was within the USA. I actually have a box right now that came from Amazon that would probably fit two of those plushies.

Maybe go to your post office and ask for their advice? I'm sure they can tell you how to ship her without having to un-stuff her (that would be traumatic!).

I also want to say, oooooh, Wysteria! I wish I had the big version of her! I think I only have Pinkie Pie and Cheerilee. :/

Oh my loa how on earth did u manage that was she destuffed a bit?
 Thanks ring i have a big box for her but i the po wont carry it its to big.. then get gets real expensive looking at other options

I have 2 (one from USA and one from Loa in NZ) - both were sent in huge garbage bags, multiple layers (like 3-4 heavy duty bags). Both were fully stuffed.

I got mine stuffed in a bag(I think you have sold it to me nhal039, but I'm not sure).

I sold her last year to someone in UK and I have send her in a box ;-)

[Loa]

I forgot the garbage bag method!

[nhal039]

Thanks you guys, you are amazing.. the rubbish bags sounds great, I was freaking out so much that all practial ways of posting never entered my mind. I will for sure send her this way. Thanks again

Buffy it was not from me, I have never sold one before

I sent a giant Minty to the US.  I unstuffed her completely except for her head (at the buyer's request) and packed her in a cardboard box.  From memory she was about $70 to send.

LOL - weirdly thats how I got Frilly! Body destuffed and then vacuum packed but her head had the stuffing still in. Despite 8 weeks travel, her head popped back into shape!
