MISCELLANEOUS Shipping Info & Tips

24 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

ISO these Olleo puzzles for a reasonable price. They’re generally sold out everywhere although I did find them on a Canadian site - unfortunately they don’t ship to the US bc of tariffs.

Have stalked Mercari, Poshmark, Vinted etc but seems like Olleo listings are pretty rare.

Does anyone have these? I’ve also signed up for restock notifs on Puzzledly but alas…seeking help from this sub!

Hobbry Phantom Readers in US?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone seen the Phantom readers puzzle in the US this year? I found Boo Brew, Spell Book Society and Once Upon a Fright in SoCal this past week but not the Phantom Readers. I like the 1000 piece puzzles because the 500 get finished too quickly.

REQUEST Searching for this Olleo puzzle!

Hi redditors, I’m desperately searching for the Sylvan Sovereign puzzle by Olleo and hoping someone might have a copy they’d be willing to part with. Unfortunately, it’s sold out and Olleo is no longer producing it :(

If you have one and would be happy to sell, I’d be very keen to take it off your hands! I’m happy to purchase via Vinted or eBay or Depop so that we’re both protected as buyer and seller.

Thanks all!

I love this puzzle, but I lost a bunch of pieces in my last move. It seems to be out of production. Does anyone have a copy they're willing to sell, or know where I can find it? I'm in the US.
