I purchased a piece of history but the lack of enough packing stuff turned into a lost treasure. I am so MAD about this subject because the only one that is happy is the shipping company ( F*#@ ) !!! OK please think before you ship.

My 1st year Desert Art Movie Moments 2 PAC of Flo and Ramone was just put in a box with nothing else in the box to support or cushion the Blister PAC during shipping . By the time this piece of history made it to Nebraska it was beat to heck, all corners bent and damaged . How mad am I and what a sad loss of a great example of Cars history.

Now this is the part of how both seller and buyer loss and shipping company win win wins! I pay to have it shipped and then I have a damaged item, so then pay to ship back and now I still do not have the item. The seller gets back damaged goods and no sale. Plus collectors lose a piece of Cars history.

I have had rare Hot Wheels still in Blister pack sent with no problems. First it is nice that a plastic protecter is designed to hold the Blister . The nice way I have had them sent is take 2 pieces of cardboard , one about a inch bigger then the card back. Put the now place the other piece of cardboard over the top half of the card making like a sandwich . Now you can wrap the sandwich with bubble wrap and place in a box that is big enough so the sandwich does not touch the sides . Fill the box with packing stuff that will keep it suspended but can be able to take a hit to the box. I know this takes more effort but it will save a lot of headaches. I know their is no sure way, but PLESE remember it is just paper so it can bend or crease very easy!

Please tell me if you have any horror stories and if you have a great way to PAC and ship. I feel their should be a reg or required way to ship these delicate items! Please tell everyone and require the seller to PAC it good. Thanks thebreezz
