When ordering a doll do you prefer receiving him or her in a bag or box?

I would definitely prefer a box. It is safer to ship and easier to store. For carrying the doll I would like to have some special bag.

 

I have to say that a box would be preferred by me. I have seen dolls broken so easily by poor shipping that the whole bag thing makes me nervous.

 

Can I have an option of a bag inside a box
It would be great to have a box as storage and a bag for transporting doll. Hard to pick either one but if I have to choose between those two, probably leaning more to box.

 

Box for easy storage.

 

In a box! Those cardboard boxes are designed to withstand a good load of abuse during shipping. And who could ever resist the temptation of a doll box opening anyway~

 

I've gotten all of my dolls in boxes............including my Impldoll Chapman. I think bags would be less bulky though.

 

I prefer a box, mostly because right now I don't have any other means of storage or display for my dolls and I have cats. Cats that like to knock things over and get into bags and such, as most normal cats do. I feel like they're more secure when the dolls are in the box at least.

 

Box. It can take more abuse and just feels more formal/professional.

 

Boxes, because I find them sturdy. Some of my resinsoul bodies came in their own bags and it just scared me. Though nothing has been chipped/ cracked/ broken- thank god

 

Maybe it's a superficial reason, but sometimes I see boxes with really nice artwork or typeface on them, and I think it can add to the experience of getting a doll. It sets a tone or creates an atmosphere, if that makes sense. I don't mind bags, but sometimes the boxes seem more special.

 

I've gotten dolls in boxes & in bags. I prefer the bags because they are more useful - I take my dolls out all the time. I do keep the boxes (resales & moves) but I flatten them. I certainly don't use EITHER for doll storage since my dolls are ALL on display (why would I ever pay this kind of $$$ to hide them away?)

 

I prefer boxes, because it makes it easy for storing/stacking them in my closet. Bags are nice too, but I like the sturdiness of a box just in case it gets bumped around. It's also nice for shipping purposes.

 

I haven't received a doll in a bag before, but I'm going to say in a box. Mostly because I like the big pretty boxes and I can usually rely on them to not squish my doll.

 

Bags for sure. This things aren't easy to transport and a bag would be mighty handy. Boxes...they don't do jack and they take up a lot of space.

 

I would love a carrier bag in a box ! Especially for the SD dolls...

 

Neither. I could not care less. So long as it arrived bubble wrapped to the nines and intact I really don't care one whit about packaging. I just throw most boxes away anyway and honestly I've never seen a doll company bag that I liked and would use. Most of them are kind of ugly I think. I always make my dolla a nice fleece blanket and a yoga type bag. I want any carriers they are hanging out in to be stylish and comfy and I am admittedly fussy about that.

 

I've gotten bags from Dollshe and Iplehouse, and wish I had more. My Dollshe bag is getting a bit worn; I've put a lot of miles on it! They're very well padded and secure. Bags are more weatherproof and durable than a cardboard box, convenient for travel, store dolls just as securely as boxes in my opinion, and take up less room when not in use.

When I didn't have the room, I couldn't keep the boxes. I have the room now, but have discovered I don't seem to need the boxes, so they're simply more trash for me to throw away. I've been in this hobby since '05 now, and haven't sold a doll. Chances are I'm not going to, so what's the point in keeping the box?

 

Preferably a box, it's just a thing I have but I did buy a LTF Bisou and had her face up done and she had no box. My first LTF was a fullset so have box. I recently bought a pet bjd for my girls, fullset.....

 

I wouldn't mind if the company sends me in box or bag. I don't like to pack my dolls in box after they arrive to my home. So box for me is just a material to protect and secure my dolls during being transported. But the bag? I haven't received any doll which was sent out in bag before. But it seems quite interesting and...if I have to choose between a beautiful boy and a bag...I would say, I choose a bag because it's easier to keep in my room. (I have so many boxes and...no place for them anymore...)

 

Oops, I think I answered this poll wrong

I would prefer (if I had to choose) that my doll come in a zippered, padded pillow bag, rather than a company box. Because this is how I store them, rather than in the boxes. Ideally, I prefer shipping to be outer (shipping) box > inner (company box) > zippered pillow bag > doll.

I've never seen a doll mailed in just a bag before, so I thought this question was about whether you care about company boxes or not ^-^;
