How not to wrap a kit for putting in the mail.

Post by **Augustus** » Mon Oct 24, 2016 4:18 am

Got this kit off eBay from a modelling shop/seller in Hong Kong called Greatsurfbay. It wasn't very expensive but I believe it warranted more than just a thin piece of bubble wrap that nearly went all the way round and then just put in an unpadded envelope.

Luckily the kit is of a Land Rover so it was tough and as far as I can see (I'm getting ready for work so haven't had a close inspection) has not suffered much damage.
Edit:Please excuse the foot!

Had a good look when I got home and nothing broken. But I would have gone ape if it had been an expensive kit. The thing is it's not a private seller it's a shop, one which I won't be going back to.
