[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 482255, member: 7379"] That's a criminal shame :-( Unless it's a loose figure / something which cannot easily be damaged, I'm afraid I simply don't trust sellers to pack things properly unless I've used them before, and so I always email the seller before bidding / buying to specifically ask how they will pack the item for posting, and then give them an example of what I want, e.g. "Please can you advise how you will pack this item to ensure it cannot get damaged in transit? Will you for example send it well protected in bubble wrap, and that then placed inside a much larger, very sturdy double-walled cardboard box with good padding on all six sides of the item inside the packing box? Naturally I want this to arrive in the same condition shown in the auction photos and I have had some bad experiences in the past where sellers used feeble packing and the item arrived damaged, which leads to needless refunds and returns, etc." If I don't like their response, I don't bid, but most of the time a swift reply arrives assuring me good packing will be used.
