The worst I had was an ebay seller who used a 2nd hand bubble mailer and didn't seal it up properly. One of my ponies got loose  :shocked:

Fortunately having put a notice on my door asking the postmen to check their bags for a loose pony, one of the post ladies came to my door with the pony  :thumb:

WOW- now that is a good story!

Lorelei Redfern has a purple goblet for sale :)

Which hathorcat has already snaffled...*hides head in shame* Sorry Lil Alley Cat...next one I see I shall let you know!

That is some seriously awesome wrapping! So reassuring when you come across a seller as careful as that.


Ooohhhh, you lucky duck! You know I was looking for that too! ;)

Lovely packing job!

Lovely packing job!

It's like the missing left socks that everyone around the world have lost. The dang goblets have gone and snuck off to a secret locale to hang out with Elvis (who of course is not dead).

Hathorcat, at least you having it means one less person looking for it....as for you Skyrocketneko....well, let's just hope two show up and we can share the joy!

I am loving the stories. Keep them coming! I will eventually post more pics of the unpacking process of this package, it just gets more and more amazing as you go. Right now though, I have to study for a final on Thurs, so no picks from me until then!

Madhatterda packed a box she sent me so well that even though it looks like someone sat on the box, the wingers inside were still great!

...but I wonder where the second box went. Squishbox is not boding well.

You know what else is hanging out there with Elvis and the purple goblets? The heart shaped brush from Megans Place...oh and Michael Jackson of course.

 I had a pony shipped to me in a box that I guess was too small, so they taped the thin cardboard from a box of butter to cover the other end. Nothing was damaged, and they used a lot of tape, but it was a bit unnerving.
I'll put something here some time

At first I was all irrationally rage-y because someone else got the purple goblet, but then I saw it was hathorcat and was all, "Oh, well in that case it's fine."  :)

That's good, the last thing anyone needs is an enraged Starfleet captain.  :lol:

My Pet Peeves on Packing:

No Colored Tissue.....It can stain ponies!!!

Also, thing that made me so disturbed was this one seller wrapped so softs in plastic AND tight tight rubber bands. Not only did you have to use a knife and practically dig into the pony but the rubber bands left permanent marks in the flocking. :(

I have gotten a scare here in there, but  the ones that scare me the most are plastic bags mailers, I just received the latest g2's from UK and France like that , luckily it was just a scare :) inside the plastic bags mailers the ponies were in bubble wrapper and tape, it was kinda odd to see them shipped like that, but once I opened them it was a relief to see them wrapped  all over, it was smart ,cause both sellers did charge me less for the shipping  this way :)

People here on the arena are usually super considerate when packing ponies which is awesome! I do agree that some ebay sellers could use a few pointers. I really do not like it when NIB ponies come in non bubbled envelopes which can tear and rip easily :( Thank goodness I still received my items but who knows what may have happened.

I also think good wrapping makes it fun to open :) Like presents!
