I'm not quite sure I get it? It was shipped in the manufacturers box with all of the packing material that came in the box right?

So unless someone is buying something by a case (which in most cases is just a bunch of the same boxes stacked and crammed inside a bigger box without additional packing material), this is the packing material that the manufacturer deemed fit to ship the item in... :spock:

No no no......you misunderstood.

1) This guy is selling PSone LCD screen (new)
2) I bought one LCD screen from him for $45 shipped
3) I received this package this morning
4) He just used one sheet of paper to wrap my LCD screen, no bubble or anything

It is just like I ship Neo AES game with a regular envelope because why I need to use mailing box or bubble as AES game has vinyl case.

You understand the whole story now?

I'm going to have to agree with T-Smallz....

Although I would probaly have used a seperate box. But that is because I'm to cheap/lazy to brown bag something.....

It's not like he sold you a boxed system or something condition sensitive or collectable.....

You wanted an LCD screen, He sent you one in perfect working order.

I guess from now on, your going to have to make sure that when you buy items, that they will be shipped in a seperate box.

What are you talking about? LCD screen isn't sensitive/collectable like system and other stuff? I'm not sure if it's in working condition as I'll check tonight. I'm pretty sure it's not in perfect shape as outter box has several dents.

So you are telling me it is "Okay" to ship NEO AES game in regular envelope because buyer didn't ask for seperate box? Because AES has vinyl case so it doesn't need to put in any bubble for protection?

You want me to send you the picture showing what kind of shipping method he used?

Or that's the way you do business in here and other internet place also?
You just ship without using any protection?

Your LCD screen is broken ?

TonK · Jan 17, 2005

Just a lot of bandwagon jumpers here...

Everyone fails to see the point.

Oh well, fuck this site.

I'm confused. It sounds like the screen was shipped in a factory box, with original packing material (styrofoam), and the box wrapped in paper. Is that correct? If so, that could suck if you care about the condition of the box.. it could get dinged or crushed during shipping.

Claiming that he has no right to complain because shipping was free is not an excuse though. If you are offering a "shipping included" price, make sure and ask for enough money to cover your costs. In these cases its better to be safe than sorry. Pack items the way you would want your items to be packed.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Finally someone understands my "English" :cool:

I can even pay more $$ for shipping but that's not the way you ship my damn LCD screen.

I'll test if screen works or not tonight....

norton9478 · Jan 17, 2005

I'd say that it's a matter of miscomunication...

I've had AES games shipped from japan with only a paper bag covering... no problems.

Your right, free shipping is not an excuse, Espeacialy when Priority Packaging/tape and newspapers are free.

Was it sold as being in mint condition?

I still wouldn't put a Playstaion LCD in the same category as an AES cart.

Does it work? How much you want for it?

Fortunately LCD works perfectly.
I threw away the box as it has too many dents.

I just wish the seller can use mailing box to ship any item.

I completely agree with LS. If you offer free shipping, you should ship it the same way you would if you had paid for shipping in the first place. When you order something and it is given a certain condition, that condition should be the same when it arrives. No Excuses. A person's rep is all that some of us have on here when it comes to selling items. I wouldn't want to skimp out on the shipping to save a few bucks when it can label me a bad seller.

Just my .02 cents

Yeah, I'd throw it away too. No box, is so much better than having a few dents in the box. Makes sense to throw it away since it is so collectible in the first place.

Having worked a many a mail company in my time, I once saw a TV at parcel force here in the U.K totally unboxed with just an address label stuck to the screen.

Amano Jacu · Jan 18, 2005

I'll just repeat what I wrote in the other thread:

Well, I got the LCD screen shipped (to Spain no less) in the same way, and personally, I think the original box was more than enough, the screen arrived perfectly. And I'm possibly the one who paid the highest price for it (50$+EMS shipping to Spain, I think I paid 28$ and on the post label the price was 25$). Still I am satisfied. Of course everybody has the right to complain if not satisfied, but that's not my case.
Even the box itself was still minty, but I just dumped it because I don't need to keep it.

Just my 0.02€.

Does my English suck or what? From point 4 I understand the LCD screen itself (not including its original box and its internal packing materials) was just wrapped in paper. However it is the external box what was wrapped, and the screen inside its box, at least in my case
By "LCD screen" you are saying BOTH the LCD screen AND the box? Come on, they are separate entities.
According to your words, the AES game example would be like somebody shipping just the bare cart wrapped and not sending the game case. I agree an AES cart (with its case of course) should be put in another box, but that's because the case is made of plastic, has an insert, etc. A cardboard box is already just packing material.

Again this is my opinion.

Jedah Doma · Jan 18, 2005

I agree with LS on this one. Free shipping doesn't mean shit shipping. Whenever I ship and item off (free or not), I ship it in the manner that said item SHOULD be shipped in. Smallz, you might be cheap, but at least front the $3-$4 for some bubble wrap from Wal-Mart. It's all about customer service in the end. What you're telling LS is that, as a customer, he and his item don't mean shit compared to a high dollar, pricey shipping item. That's not a way to do buisiness. If it's free, then make it free, but ship it in a manner that would keep things safe and secure. If you're too cheap to get a FREE box and at least an old newpaper and 5 minutes, go back to ebay, they'd welcome your kind. There could have been a myraid of things that could have happened, but did you care? It seems not.

Well LS, you'll just know you'll have to spell it out for him next time you want it shipped right. You shouldn't have to treat a grown man like a child, but is seems with Smallz you must. Although you sadly won't be there to tell him to wipe his ass after taking a shit. I hope it's at least the two ply stuff and not that cheap 99 cent crap. Oh well, Smallz will be the cheap bastard with shit on his hands. There's my nugget of advice Smallz since you seem to take common sense for granted.

good I read this. I would never have put an item in a separate box for shipping, if it comes in a sturdy box with Styrofoam to begin with. usually the manufacturers packaging is more than sufficient to guarantee that the item arrives in perfect condition.
but then, I am no collector. and that's what it all comes down to. from a collectors point of view this can be a big let down I guess. I do care a lot about the condition of the actual item though, trying to keep everything as minty as it was when I got it, but the condition of the box? next time I sell something here, I'll ask prior to shipping.

You'll be surprise that PSOne LCD screen has no "styrofoam" in it. Just a cardboard to hold it and that's about it.

The reason I was pissed is that you all know how USPS handle your mailing package. If you're gonna ship something fragile (LCD screen is fragile....) then you have to be really careful while shipping it.

Plus I ordered a new LCD screen therefore I want everything in perfect shape, even the box.

Well, it's just my opinion. :confused:

drone9 · Jan 18, 2005

don't get me wrong. it's not that I don't see your point. just that I would not expect an item bought through private sale, that comes with sturdy packing, to be shipped in a separate box. that's just based on my personal experience. if I bought it from a shop that would be a different story.

I hear you

BIG BEAR · Jan 18, 2005

Call me crazy but if I purchase a brand new unit such as that LCD, I would expect the retail box to be shipped in a shipping container.
The BOX would be just as important to me as the LCD unit.
If the unit is brand new,it should arrive to me as if I were picking off a store shelf.
Remember,all retail products are shipped in shipping containers and handled with care.
Sorry to read about this LS but if it happened on eBay,I can understand as my last few experiences with them have been lackluster to state the least.

youd be better off just slapping a label on the box
wrapping boxes in paper isnt a good thing to do
if te paper gets snagged in a machine or gets ripped off some other way, the post office now has a box thats going to nobody

It's ridiculous to ship LCD screen by just one piece of wrapping paper
