Thanks! Will do!

Thankyou for the sub and luck! 🍕🍕

This would be for the complete Duplo ones obviously not the ones that you only need a few parts for

I agree, what intimidates most sellers is the process submitting to the catalogue, but they are likely glad to give the dimensions for someone else to enter.

They are often very helpful indeed! However, adding measurements for items can be difficult if you are not familiar with them (often different angles for parts can be very difficult to measure) and unfortunately, most people dont have a digital calliper on hand to do the measuring so it is often simplest to purchase the parts and then measure them and then the seller gets an order and the catalogue becomes more complete which is a nice win-win scenario!

Sometimes it can work without issue however as the cereal box provides little/no structural support if even something like a 5 pound box is set on it, it would then crush that box and if there is anything fragile inside such as a sets box or flimsy part it would then be destroyed so its best to set up your system to use more rigid boxes from the start so that it doesn't cause potential issues in the future.

@@nubsselect I guess I don't know what the weight of your package was, I was thinking around 500g. I'm not suggesting a 2kg (5pound) order should be in a flimsy box in a mailer, although I get lots of Euro 2kg orders who seem to love packing bubble mailers full, talk about fragile parts inside getting broken from a little outside pressure...., I'm suggesting that a super lightweight box inside a poly mailer for low weights may be better protection than a simple bubble mailer.

Ah sorry I think I misexplained. Yes the package was around 500ish grams with packaging but I was referring to during the shipping process. packages are often put through quite a bit during the shipping process so what I had meant is if someone ships an order in a cereal box, if at any point during the shipping process a heaver box is set on top of it, it would then crush the package and any potentially fragile parts in it. this order didn't have any fragile parts so it would have been fine if that had happened but in general its best to try to always ship with a sturdy box or with a bubble mailer. Yah its wild sometimes what people send in bubble mailers, but yah I agree if there are any potentially fragile items it should be shipped in a rigid box and not a bubble mailer or flimsy box (such as a cereal box).
