I am an experienced collector and I understand how fragile these high-detail precision models are. I pack to a very high standard:
Protection: The model will be secured in its original styrofoam and box. This will then be double-wrapped in heavy-duty bubble wrap and shipped inside a sturdy, double-walled outer shipping box with extra padding to ensure it arrives in its current mint state.
Domestic Shipping: I use eBay’s Simple Delivery service. This provides a fully tracked and insured journey, so you can buy with total confidence.
International Buyers: I am proudly enrolled in eBay’s Global Shipping Program (GSP). If you are ordering from overseas, eBay handles the international logistics and customs.
