Rumi Posted August 16, 2020 Just curious about how volks has sent outfit sets to you guys. Does it come in a big envelope or a box? And if possible may i see an image of the box? Ive had some things from other stores send me a massive box for small items. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kotone Posted August 16, 2020 I don't have any boxes for pictures on-hand but if your order only contains clothes (not several full outfits with accessories and stuff) the box is always jarringly huge in comparison haha. If I had to guess, the smallest box I've seen from them was about 35cm x 25cm x 20cm? They've sent me single heads in that ^^;; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kotone Posted August 16, 2020 of course! On the bright side, They're good to keep around for shipping other things. I've been using them for care packages for faraway friends and family in quarantine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted August 17, 2020 Volks International has always used boxes for stuff I’ve ordered, even if only one outfit. But the box is different depending on how much you order. I’m not really sure what kind of pics you want to see to be honest, but it just so happens that I have the boxes of my three most recent orders and they’re all very different sizes, so I thought I’d compare with Arle (MDD) ...and a can of Pepsi, for scale because they’re pretty different. The smallest one up top had just one outfit.The middle one had two bust parts, MDD hands and two outfits. The bigger one had 3 outfits, a pair of shoes and a chair stand - the chair stand is the main reason it was so big, because it comes in a box itself. I remember receiving this at the post office and being very surprised by the size lol. It seems like VolksUSA use envelopes sometimes, but I don’t know how many outfits you need to order before they put it in a box instead. 1 *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solebria Posted August 17, 2020 As for VolksUSA, it will be a large envelope if it's only one outfit and shoes (two pairs max) but will send a small box (similar to the small box for Volks Int) if it's more than one outfit. From my experience, both Volks stores will fold clothes in half to fit inside the small box if needed. I haven't ordered more than three outfits in one order so I don't know if they will go for a bigger box ...but it is likely that they will. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rumi Posted August 17, 2020 Thank you all so much! Im hoping my one outfit order comes in an envelope (considering there are no shoes or bulky items). I did order from Volks Japan specifically. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moerunamida Posted August 17, 2020 I ordered a bust, a body stocky, a body suit, and the lottery nurse outfit. Thankfully, nothing fell out. Circle (Towa) Yui (MDD) Coralie (MDD) 88 (Kizuna AI) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Somewhere along the lines in shipping that package absolutely got caught on something, and a USPS worker yanked it out. They didn't even have the decency to slap a piece of tape on it to keep it closed. I've at least witnessed UPS re-tape packages more than a few times... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Taping it closed would have been a nice thing to do 😮 1 Circle (Towa) Yui (MDD) Coralie (MDD) 88 (Kizuna AI) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabriel Posted August 17, 2020 Anytime I've ordered outfits, they've always been gathered together in a clear plastic bag. The plastic bag is then wrapped with bubble wrap. Then it's shipped in a box with paper packing material all around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
