premiumcollectables (Australia) new items and updates

[ozlee]

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.

I agree. My other point is at least they should acknowledge my message rather than just ignore it pretending everything is good.

They might as well call themselves Cheap Collectibles.

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

That is not the point. If you offer postage of items to your customers you should at least pack it in such a way that the item will not get damaged during the transit. By not doing so kind of shows how much PC cares about their customers when they receive the item. I am not saying that they are bad people but that is something they can improve on. Take as feedback for them. I am not trying to start a troll war.

I understand the point regarding keeping costs down. As collectors we always want to get items as cheaply as possible but also in minty condition, well at least I know I do!

Perhaps an option to have items posted in a box for a fee could be provided? I must confess I have not read their shipping policy and just assumed that items would be posted in a box. No doubt boxes will add to their cost base and necessitate a price increase but I would not be against a small price bump to increase protection.

I am not saying I need all boxes to be 100% guaranteed to be undamaged whatsoever, I just want to avoid bubble wrap packages I've received in the past with massive puncture wounds. A few damaged edges doesn't bother me.

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

Actually, if you got down off your high horse for 5 minutes and thought, you can have both. Offer free shipping which as it currently is (which is what I would pick because I don't care about boxes. They just end up in the bin). ANd offer a "premium" shipping option for those that don't want to risk getting a banged up box in the mail.

It is what it is

No way they would be packed so nice for this price.

Which I already suggested when on the grass not on the horse

While at it might as well ask for dhl

So was it a small package that they had it on a post bag? Ive got my MP star saber from them and it was placed in its original shipping box which can hold 2 so it has good space with some crumpled papers. It wasnt damaged a bit when ive got it...

Anyway sometimes however you put protection in parcels and AU post just bang it everywhere it is pointless like my MP bumble with bigger box and still crushed on top of the box

They did say if you ordered more in starsaber case you get the original cart box.

Yes Aust post isn't the best service and I know it first hand.

Which is why I be suggesting they use dhl or fed ex for other people who are over particular about how their items are shipped.

Mind you, the cost may just end up the same as buying from bbts which defeats all purpose.

Grass is green, water is blue, packages will get damaged in transit, and so will... something, something...

Well that's our feedback here, is up to them to choose a upgrade in shipping or loose some customers.

I be happy to carry on support his business for now.
