How to pack a slab

A slab is sturdy, but the plastic can crack or get scratched if the parcel takes a knock on the way. So pack every slab you sell through PSAslabs like this.

How to pack a slab

  1. Put the slab in a sleeve or a plastic bag, so it doesn't get scratched.
  2. Wrap it completely in bubble wrap, including the edges and the corners. Tape the bubble wrap shut, and never put tape on the slab itself.
  3. Put it in a mailing envelope or a small box. An ordinary envelope is not allowed.
  4. If there is space left, fill it up. Give it a shake: if anything moves, fill it up more.
  5. Stick the buyer's address on it. Never write "Pokémon", "PSA" or anything else on it that shows what is inside, not even in the sender's details.
  6. Take photos while you pack and add them to your order in your account, before you enter the tracking code. Keep the proof of postage until the buyer has the parcel.

Bubble wrap is required

If a slab arrives damaged and there was no bubble wrap around it, or it was in an ordinary envelope, the damage is at your expense.

A mailing envelope is made for sending things, such as a padded envelope or a cardboard mailer. A slab in bubble wrap fits in it well. An ordinary paper envelope does not protect it.

Shipping

Ship with the shipping method the buyer chose: with tracking, and from €500 signed for and insured. If you ship with PostNL, buy the label online in advance, in the PostNL app or on the PostNL website. The buyer's shipping is based on the online rate. At the counter of a PostNL point you pay more. Then enter the tracking code in your account. Everything about shipping is in article 5 of the seller terms.
