All purchases from the Loupe Market should be packaged and secured as best as possible to ensure safety on its journey to the new owner! PLEASE NOTE that Loupe does not allow PWE shipments for items sold on the Market, and should have tracking associated as provided by Shippo. We recommend the following best practices for shipping Market items:
Singles (Graded or Ungraded):
Cards should be shipped, at minimum, secured in a penny sleeve and top-loader, within asealed bubble mailer. For added safety, we recommend utilizing card protectors on higher-end items to help protect and stabilize the card, as well as the slab when applicable. We have partnered with Hobby Armor to provide a 10% discount site-wide on their shipping products - simply use the promotional code LOUPETHEAPP at checkout!
Memorabilia:
Please ensure that any Memorabilia items are secured as best as possible. Be sure to use an appropriately-sized box for the shipment. We recommend utilizing bubble rap in lieu of simple paper when shipping these items.
Comics:
Comics are notoriously difficult to ship. We strongly recommend "boarding" (placing cardboard on both sides) of any comics you ship, whether slabbed or not. Ensure you utilize an appropriately-sized container, and when possible, avoid flat USPS Priority Envelopes (as these can get tossed around during transit).
Collectible Toys, Coins, & Currency:
Toys, coins, and other currency should be packaged in a size-appropriate box, with bubble wrap being the preferred protection method, however overall ensure that the toy is as stabilized as possible, as well as protected fully from potential damage during transit.
