Depending on your order, items may be packaged in one box while some orders may require that we ship items in multiple boxes.

All blow molds are shipped in new boxes or the manufacturer’s original box. We generally bubble wrap each mold and add packing material to protect them. However, in some cases we may not be able to bubble wrap every mold. This usually occurs for products that are shipped in the manufacturer’s original box and for especially large items. In addition, some blow molds that aren’t painted will not have bubble wrap. All lights and replacement bulbs are shipped in new boxes or padded envelopes with additional packing material used to prevent the items from moving while in transit.

Partial Orders

We will not ship partial orders.
