SDCC Skybound 5th Anniversary Box set (updated with Ticket totals)

[ebtorres]

Got two boxes from Skybound today.....

 

$24 paid in shipping....

 

both in a $12 flat rate box...a really small flat rate box....with no additional insurance (I checked)

 

that looked like this when it got here.......

 

 

 

Not super happy.

 

I don't understand why they charge by weight/distance if they are using USPS Priority Flat Rate boxes! I've been wanting to buy the Gold Compendium Vol. 2 for the longest time now, but the shipping rates to NYC are as follows:

 

USPS Standard Post at $ 26.38

USPS Priority Mail 2-Day at $ 33.66

Or, if you are going to charge by weight, use an appropriately sized box and ship by weight.

 

Use some of that cash I paid and protect my purchase. At least insure it for what I paid.

[Dano]

That is unacceptable packaging for what you paid.

[jsilverjanet]

are you going to open it or return them?

[retrothecollector]

That's so unacceptable. I'm sorry Chris.

if they have the WD 1 ticket inside they could have flattened with an 18 wheeler and it wouldn't matter.

There's an obvious answer to your question (what I highlighted in bold above)...

All these haters... My box showed up looking just like that, but because there is bubble wrap there was not a single speck of damage. The shipping cost includes both shipping AND HANDLING! That $10 of bubble wrap and love and care people!

[krighton]

I always charge extra for each bubble of wrap

[krighton]

if someone posts a complete list of tickets found so far i'll put it on the first page.

[mikerb2223]

Anyone want to trade I'm looking for a Black and White Invincible or Outcast book PM me! Cheers!

[bigtate]

Got mine...standard set...no ticket. I had also convinced things were lining up for me for the gold haha.

[IntoAnother]

My 2 boxes came in. Both color sets, all excellent 9.8 candidates. No tickets.

Good luck to everyone who's yet to receive a box!

[krighton]

people getting 2 boxes and both are BW have some crazy good luck

[zupaphly]

people getting 2 boxes and both are BW have some crazy good luck

I secretly hate them a little

[Red84]

Still waiting on my 2 boxes. I'm expecting to get the WD ticket and Super Dinosaur ticket since asking for the Outcast ticket would just be getting greedy

[krighton]

for anyone that missed out, this guy has bought a TON of the box sets. His price is within $10 of what it cost me to get them from Skybound.
