premiumcollectables (Australia) new items and updates

[Megatran]

Hi Premium Collectibles

I have sent you guys an email about damaged boxes? You guys did not reply back. I have a lot more preorders from you guys so please secure the parcels with proper cardboard boxes rather than just wrapping the actual toy boxes with bubblewraps thinking that all it is needed. You missed a couple of corners and the boxes came a bit damaged.

Thanks,
Beven

Are you saying the parcel 'box' is bubble wrap and not cardboard box? i.e. bubble wrap toy boxes and whack on a shipping label?

gee.. i hope they dont do this. a big no no imo.. i have a couple of things on preorder and i'd hate to see that happen to my toy boxes...

That's how my hot spot came and it was totally fine. The bubble wrap was at least 4 thick layers deep. Given that shipping is cheap / free and items ship as they arrive I wouldn't expect exuberant packaging. Although I suppose they could be more upfront about this on the website, as I know a lot of tf people are notoriously fussy when it comes to boxes.

Yeah I've just ordered from PC and will not be too happy if that is how they post items. I've received transformers posted like that before and had massive holes punched through the box. Perhaps just bad luck but it isn't a very safe way to post.

The name of the business is Premium Collectibles. From that you would expect care taken in wrapping the item not withstanding the goal to keep prices low.

My two voyagers came in a sturdy box and 4 deluxes in a bag, there was nothing wrong with them. Terms and conditions state that they do not guarantee mint boxes.

I don't get it, you people want cheap then want good boxes. Do yourselves a favour and head down to Australia post with a mp Magnus and ask for the shipping rates across to Eastern or western states.
Come back and tell me you can find a cheaper postage.

I guess I should suggest premium collectables to start charging extra $30 for premium boxes.

I like to stay with their cheap shipping. Thanks

I think that's a bit of hyperbole. We're talking about the cost of a shipping box which would not add very much to the volumetric weight of the package. Each to their own but I would have thought that if there are enough customers concerned about this then they should at least provide an option to customers willing to pay extra for better packing.

I disagree, you are free to purchase from bbts the only crazy site I know who would charge extra for a box.

Other than that, these guys are very reasonable as they are. You can't have both or there be no business at all.

As you said each to their own, and you might find no joy with this dealer because box are your priorities.

As for volume wise I stand very correct as I do package stuff myself. The shipping is a joke. I can get Hong Kong stuffed shipped to me less than I ship the same thing to nsw

The terms and conditions are there. You are free not to go with them.

Yes that is correct except they put them in a postage bag. I am a collector so when the boxes were dented I was not impressed. And I already ordered big expensive items from them so I am a bit worried that they may get damaged even more.
