A warning to those ordering the Lair from Amazon

*tmntman* · 07-09-2003, 02:55 PM

I received the Turtle Lair playset that I ordered from Amazon .com today. The shipping time was great given I had just ordered it on Thursday night. But they shipped it without any packaging at all! They just slapped the shipping labels on the front of the box and sent it on its way. I haven't gotten a chance to open it up yet but it appears that it arrived intact, just banged up around the edges. So if you are hoping for a mint condition box, don't order from Amazon, or make sure you order in quanities of two so they can ship an entire case.

That sucks! Sorry to hear TMNTMan. After hearing this, I doubt I'll be purchasing anything from those guys.

as is with amazon amd KB toys, the web orders ship with shipping stickers on them. Each individual item has a large sticker on it. So be weary collecters. it might be hard to remove. Figures and foot talls have them on the plastic so its no prob, but cardboard is another story.

No big deal to me. I was always planning on opening it up and waiting to get one locally to keep in the box. I assembled it last night and there was no damage. An I really couldn't care less whether the empty box that I threw into the closet has a sticker or two on it.

I got a Fellowship of the Ring Gift Pack from Amazon.com, and it came in a large box....weird..... (This was about a month ago.)
