Ok, let me start by saying that I got two sets of free Pokemon
cards, 3 #4910's and a #7110 Landspeeder all for $1.63 Shipped, so I
don't really have too much to complain about.

Other than that, I'd like to say that if you're buying sets from
KBKids.com so that you can sell them, be careful.  I just wanted the
sets that I ordered for my own collection, but if I had wanted to sell
the Landspeeder, forget about it.  It was in the proper sized box
(unlike the unfortunate Toy Time experience that Raymond Flournoy told
us about) but something was wrong because the box was badly damaged.
I guess the amount of damage was relative.  It wasn't so bad that I
wouldn't have bought it from a store, but not what I'd expect to get
mail order when ordering brand new stuff.

Also, they, as well as ToysRUs.com put these huge stickers on every
item so I'm always afraid that it'll ruin the box when I pull them
off.

P.S.  Anyone want to trade some Pokemon cards (which I may add were
annoyingly protected from all damage in a really nice mailer)? :)

(...) Fortuanately the KB Kids stickers use the "comes off relatively easy" glue. Hey, at least you got what you ordered, unlike others (I got the 20 6444s that I ordered just fine, real quick shipment also). (25 years ago, 13-Oct-99, to lugnet.market.shipping)

Also had a poorly packed order of 4561's come from KBKids.com, the shipping boxes looked like they had been used a few times before and two of the set boxes were partially crushed... -Tommy (24 years ago, 6-Apr-00, to lugnet.market.shipping)
