Photography Tips for Lego (New/Sealed)

Photograph all sides of the sealed box. Show the seal intact. Note any box damage — dents, creases, and shelf wear matter to collectors. Include the set number prominently in the listing.

Shipping Tips

Australia Post Parcel Post with tracking is the go-to for most items. Budget $10-15 for standard-sized parcels.
Poly mailers work for clothing and soft goods — they're lighter and cheaper to post than boxes.
For rigid items, use a box with at least 2cm of padding on all sides. Newspaper works in a pinch, but bubble wrap is better.
Print labels at home if you're shipping regularly — it saves time at the post office and gives you tracking automatically.
Offer combined shipping if you sell multiple items. Buyers appreciate the discount and you save on packaging.
Always get proof of postage. A tracking number or Australia Post receipt is your only defence in a delivery dispute.
