Ali express

Hey all have any of you purchased the knock off trains from Ali express I bought these and they came today wrapped in a bubbles packed tight in a poly bag. The packaging is destroyed and I was planning on putting them on the shelf. Does anyone have a seller that they can recommend that will pack these properly?

This knockoff look not bad at all. Maybe I will try order some

I think albeit there are more shops on Aliexpress that sell these, there aren't that many sellers behind them: packaging is always pretty much the same. Some engines are sold without any box; in that case they come in big inflated plastic wrapping. Also, you can find them on eBay, still the more or less the same packaging, but you got the items faster; once I waited over 3 months for the Aliexpress package to arrive...

While I have never used Ali Express, I'd hazard a guess that the majority of the sellers will be just the same as the others, you'd be pretty lucky to get one well-packaged, though I could be wrong

Has anyone bought from a seller/store that uses a box and the packaging comes in good shape.

[Super]

I have not had a shipping issue with the handful of purchases I have made in the past.

@ajtrain944,
For better packaged knockoffs, I suggest you use ebay sellers. I don't want to advertise any counterfeiters, so I'll pm you a link to an ebay seller that should have ok packaging
