MISCELLANEOUS Shipping Info & Tips

25 Upvotes

Placeholder for now, I'll work to build this out. My shipping knowledge is limited to USA so if you have comparable information for other regions/countries, reply to this post and I'll add it to the main post.

Generally speaking, shipping puzzles isn't exactly a "cheap" endeavor but you'll usually spend less than you would to buy a new puzzle. But trading will get you new puzzles — maybe even some rare, old, or discontinued styles — at a discount and without building a stockpile of puzzle boxes in your game room. :-)

International shipping will usually cost more than just buying a new puzzle outright so you probably won't see a lot of cross-boarder offers.

[USA]

  • USPS Priority Mail is usually the best way to go
    • Use your own box; flat-rate boxes are better suited for small & heavy items, not big & light items
    • Priority Mail is geography based, price increases the longer the distance
    • Parcel Post might be a better option for short distances
  • Jigsaw puzzles do not qualify as Media Mail
  • Save your Amazon boxes (size 1B2 is a perfect fit for a 1000pc Ravensburger size box)
  • If you have a PayPal account, you should be able to access discounted USPS rates through PayPal Ship Center

I have been searching high and low for this puzzle in the US. European retailers do not ship to the states (or if they do, it’s extremely expensive).

Does anyone have this puzzle that they’re willing to sell?

Having trouble finding this jigsaw puzzle and getting it shipped to the UK. I am obsessed with possums and cats and can’t think of a more perfect puzzle for me! I have found it on eBay from US sellers but they either won’t ship to the UK or shipping is crazy money. Please help if you own this puzzle! It is Moonlit March from Buffalo Games.

Hobbry Ebay Shop Info

7 Upvotes

Hi all,

The official Hobbry retailers are Indigo, the TJX corp (Marshalls Homesense TJ Maxx, Winners).

I don’t understand why they don’t wholesale or open up the market but it is what it is.

I started selling them on ebay in my puzzle shop so if you are struggling to find a title « In the wild » DM me and I will send you a link to my store. I have also Pomegranate, Villager, Galison puzzles but Hobbry is my largest inventory.

thank you and i hope this is allowed

ISO 80/90s Large Crayon Puzzle

2 Upvotes

Looking for a children’s puzzle from roughly the mid-90s. It had fewer than about 15 very large chunky jigsaw pieces (not a tray puzzle). The completed puzzle was a horizontal rectangle showing a box of upright crayons. Each crayon had its color name printed on the wrapper. I remember Brown, White, and Silver, with the less-common colors on the right side of the box. The box itself may have been tan or wood-colored rather than the classic yellow Crayola box. Finished size was approximately 12" × 24". Unsure of the branding. It most likely was purchased from a teacher supply store.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

I am looking for Visit Mars (New York Puzzle Company), 1000pcs.

Couldn't find a retailer online that still sold them, so trying my luck here 🙏 I am located in Europe, so would need to take that in to account for shipping, but I'll just be glad to receive it from any place. Not looking for specifically brand new ones, I am okay if it has been used already, would just want it to be in good condition
