Packaging guidelines
Our packaging guidelines will help you protect your LEGO® bricks, parts and pieces during transportation, so your collection reaches us in the same condition you sent it. Take a look at our packaging dos and don'ts below…
Packaging dos
Double-check your LEGO® bricks
Before you send us your unwanted bricks, check them over and make sure they meet our condition guidelines. It might be worth re-weighing your LEGO® bricks to make sure you’ve selected the right weight too.
Choose the right box size
Choosing the right box size will prevent your LEGO® parts and pieces from being damaged in transit. A box too small for your LEGO® bricks could burst, whereas a box too big could collapse. Your box should weigh no more than 15kg and be no more than 120cm in length. If you add the two shortest dimensions and multiply them by two, the total calculation should be under 225cm.
Secure your package
Whatever you decide to send your LEGO® bricks in, make sure it’s sturdy and durable. Because LEGO® bricks are so small, it’s easy for them to get lost in transit if your package isn’t secure. We suggest using a plastic bag inside of a box, making sure any gaps are sealed with tape.
Remove any existing labels
Make sure your box is clear of old shipping labels or stickers, as this can cause confusion at the parcel shop. You don’t want your bricks to end up getting delivered back to you!
Attach postage label
Ensure your postage label is stuck on properly and not obscured by any tape. Don’t forget we provide a free postage label once you’ve checked out!
Post within 7 days
Please post your LEGO® bricks, parts and pieces to us within 7 days of completing your sale.
Packaging don'ts
Don’t pack badly
Don't ship your LEGO® bricks in flimsy or damaged boxes as it will likely sustain additional damage during transit. Ensure the box is in good shape and not worn out. It must be sealed properly, making sure any gaps are shut tight.
Label as fragile instead of careful packing
Labelling your boxes as ‘fragile’ or ‘handle with care' doesn’t guarantee that they won’t get damaged. These stickers should not be used as a substitute for good packaging.
Don’t allow contents to move
Choose the appropriate sized box for your items. Try not to under-fill boxes (these could collapse) and over-filled ones might burst open.
Resend packaged without removing old labels
Never reuse old packaging without removing all previous labels and stickers.
