Antoine Wright RC - dinged

Rest are base - all damaged

Well thats it. Everything single card was damaged in the top right coner. I cant complain though, it was a free box anyway. Thanks Marcus, it cant be helped that Aust Post ruined that.

Cheers

nothing sucks more than damaged cards, i think your postie hates you. Well done to all star for the free box.

Yep, this is why I pick up my boxes personally from Westriot.

Ducky - I might pay extra for you do put a couple of kilos of bubble wrap around the Finest box when it comes.

Aww man...that sucks!! Really sorry about that...you're the 2nd person I've had recently who received a damaged box due to the handling of Australia Post.
I'll see if there's something else we can do for you!!

i bought a box off 8088edge and it came in a thin express bag (no bubble wrap), i dont know how allstar sent his but i am starting to think boxes of cards should be wrapped in bubble wrap and sent in boxes.

Sorry to read about your horrible postie BW

 

[adhunt99]

crappy pulls anyway so it doesn't matter

No worries mate, it wasnt your fault, it was packaged well. Dont worry about looking for something else, it was a freebie, I cant expect that! I just appreciate you sending it.

Cheers

Both boxes that I have received that were damaged were both wrapped in bubble wrap, so there was no real problem there. It was in one of those express-style bags. The only thing I can think off is extra packaging within the bag so it cannot move at all inside of it.

the thing with card boxes is they offer no protection, thin cardboard and foil is all that is between the card. I am sure aussie post just chuck things around and bubble wrap wont stop damage. I know it costs more to post a parcel but imagine you had a star patch/auto in that box , an extra $5-$10 will be well worth it.

an extra $5-$10 will be well worth it.

It would be worth it..but most people won't pay the extra. Most are happy to take the chance to save a few dollars...I reckon 1-2 out of 100 packages of mine arrive with some form of damage.

I understand ( i am not exactly a big spender) but i really really hate damaged cards (i am soo picky that i am even considering putting it in my sig). I guess it depends on the individual but i dont think the risk is worth it.

Well done anyway for the free box comp Allstar
