I haven't had to order anything online from TLG in a month or two and
placed an order for multiple copies of a set late Monday night. Much to my surprise
they arrived today. But the bigger surprise was that they shipped the GWP's
in separate boxes. Is this a fluke or did they listen to our complaints about
smaller sets getting crushed? Seems like the orders from early February were
all packed in to one box.

I have had several GWP ship separately but it mainly depends on the set you order.
Bigger sets tend to be stored in their own shipping box in the warehouse.

I agree with this statement. I' not sure if it has to do with the location
the sets are shipping from as well or if a specific distribution center has run
out of a set, but I've had it both ways.

Kinda wondered what that little one would achieve as a grown man, with such strength
of personality at three

I have had the same experience as RebelliousBrick. Sometimes, but not always,
the Gift with Purchase set is shipped separately from a large set. I also agree
with RebelliousBrick that this is because of where the sets ship from.

You didn't actually think that TLC cares about our boxes getting crushed,
did you?

Big maybe on that. I thought everything came out of Illinois. Mos Eisley's
were 9+ pounds and came with the GWPs in the same box. The Orient Expresses
were 7+ and came in the "ready to ship" boxes that are custom sized,
but the the GWPs came separate. Where else do they ship from in the US?

I have received Shop At Home orders from Kentucky.
