They put a tracking number for every order but will usually shipped multiple orders together. Thats why you'll only see 1 or a few tracking numbers move. It depends on how much you ordered. They did the same thing with our boxes of flawless.

A unique tracking number for each order but ship it as one package? Don't they basically pay (or maybe they don't) for each tracking code? But that does make sense to merge all orders into one package to save money.

So since I usually always bust. Whats the most cost efficient/safest way to ship a sealed case and/or loose boxes.

I am praying I do. I think that enhances the value to flip and is less risk selling individual boxes and d bags trying to return them.

USPS, ground shipping with tracking.
Loose boxes in another box (aka "double boxed") with something in between the boxes (newspaper/packing peanuts etc)

Thanks guys!

I see that FEDEX updated the weight of the package to 16 lbs. which is more in line with a 12-box case!

My 6 boxes have been delivered to a Fedex pickup location, since it needed signature and I have to work. It's really hard to not go home "sick" right now!

Thankfully I have the option to work from home so I'm not so patiently waiting as my order is "out for delivery".

Let us know if they have silver in them!!!!! My two are waiting on me at Fed Ex too, I'm torn on what to do with them. Want to see some breaks posted before I decide.

For those that say to hold them, does the release of the "regular" prizm hurt the prices for these? Or, should we wait until the breaks start happening to see if this is a "hit" product?

My buddy just texted me a pic of his 6 boxes he picked up from FedEx. Now let's see if he busts any.

The current FOTL prices are unsustainable IMO. But that said they should always command a slight premium over regular hobby.

But the real value will be getting those /8 rookies up on ebay before this weekend.
