What's the worst shipping you've had for a figure

My rse macho king arrived dislodged from the plastic insert.
The shipping box had a huge dent in it but I don’t know if that’s what caused it. I’ve had many boxes arrived dented and inside usually the figure box is fine.
That was like my second order from rsc. I wasn’t very happy but luckily I did try again and again and again and had great success with them overall

On the day it was supposed to be delivered, the USPS for whatever reason returned a Braun Strowman figure I purchased to the sender.

I don’t know if this counts, but I ordered a Sami Zayn/Kevin Owens Battle Pack, and the Owens figure I was sent had a really big and noticeable spot of missing paint on the side of his head. It really sucked too, given I bought that set mainly to swap the True FX heads on Elite bodies. Thankfully though, I emailed Ringside, told them about the paint defect, and they sent me a replacement Owens with much better paint.

If we’re talking in general though, I’d say one of my worst experiences was when I waited over a month for my R3 Matt Hardy to come in. I ordered it off the Bay several years ago when I was a kid, and the torment of waiting so long for that damn figure to arrive was something I won’t forget. When it finally arrived, it was like a gift from God. Thankfully, I’m a lot more patient now.

Ordered a 1/100 Eddie Guerrero Jakks Figure from eBay America (I’m in the UK) with free shipping. Thought yes, I’m taking that free shipping!

It came with a FedEx delivery bill for £62.

Ouch.

OOF

- I ordered 3 Basic 58 Edge's a while ago. Seller shipped & all, but whatever happened during the delivery process set them back almost 2 months.


- Last year i bought an Elite 29 Luke Harper 'MOC'. It was in Australia for a great price, so i jumped right on it... When the figure arrived, i was greeted by a half opened box with the Harper just shoved back inside.
I went back to the listing to make sure i didn't miss-read anything, but nope. Seller listed it as Brand New, MOC etc... So despite the fact that the figure was in good condition, i was really annoyed that the seller lied about it.


- My worst case of 'shipping' though came when the jacka** didn't even ship the item & tried to scam me. It wasn't a figure, but it was something i've been tracking down for 10 years...
In February i finally bought the WrestleMania 23 Winners Plaque. The previous 2 opportunities i had to get it were in 2010 & 2013, i wasn't allowed to get it in 2010, and the 2013 one was damaged, so i thought this time i'd finally be able to get it.... Buuut nope.

I buy it, and the seller never marks it as shipped. So i give it until the latter of due dates since a bunch of sellers don't mark it as shipped, but do ship it. Anyway, it's still not here so i message the seller & get ignored. Wait another week, message them again & still get ignored. So i filed for a refund stating a scam, and less that 20 minutes later the seller refunded the whole thing, but still ignored all my messages.
I'm still annoyed about this, there hasn't been another one listed since, and it'll probably be another few years before i get the chance to buy it again.

When E79 and 80 were announced, I knew I'd have to track down a Roderick Strong for the matching camo attire. Best price was one in Canada. I was able to track it as it went through Canada, across the border, and into San Francisco. Then that was it. For over a week it wouldn't update then magically it was in my area and out for delivery. Legit thought customs lost it

UPS “Surepost & FedEx Smartpost are by far the worse type of shipping method. Mainly speed. Sure if you live in the same state of the shipper, you’ll get it in within reason. However you still lose a day cause it gets dropped off at your local USPS sorting center.


My last 2 Sure/Smart post deliveries took much longer then expected (1 package was lost for a few days).
I could’ve ordered regular ground & would’ve got my orders sooner.

I don’t understand nor do I care to understand why, how or etc it makes sense in transit, but I’ll never use it again or even use USPS as an option.

i was expecting the box to look beat up but it came in perfect condition, there is some paint defects on the right leg though
