Best Ways to Ship Action Figures Safely: A Collector’s Guide to Damage-Free Delivery

Whether you’re selling on eBay, Mercari, or your own site like PopFixx Toyz, how you ship your action figures matters. Damaged packaging can kill resale value, and poor packing can lead to returns or bad reviews. Here's how to pack and ship figures the right way — from bubble mailers to box-in-box methods.

📦 1. Always Use a Box for Carded Figures

Bubble mailers = bent corners and crushed blisters.
Tip: Use sturdy boxes that are at least 1 inch larger than the item on all sides for padding.

🫧 2. Bubble Wrap is Your Best Friend

Wrap figures tightly in bubble wrap to absorb shock.
Tip: Use at least two layers for loose figures or four for carded ones.

📏 3. Use Box-In-Box Shipping for High-Value Items

Protect expensive figures ($50+) with an inner box inside a padded outer box.
Tip: This method absorbs impact and prevents edge crush.

🧊 4. Avoid Heat Damage

Hot trucks or storage units can warp plastic or melt glue.
Tip: Avoid shipping during extreme heat waves. Add a “fragile” label for caution.

💰 5. Offer Signature Delivery for $100+ Orders

It protects you and the buyer from porch theft or lost packages.
Tip: USPS, UPS, and FedEx all offer this as an add-on for minimal cost.

🛑 Bonus Tip: Don’t Use Newspaper

It stains plastic and packaging — plus it offers poor protection.
Tip: Stick to kraft paper, packing peanuts, or air pillows for box fill.
