This page aims to provide answers to the most common questions asked of BlindBoxes. If you have a question that is not answered here, please write and ask! What is a blind box?A blind box is a product sold in a box containing a random item from any one series. Like the hobby of collecting trading cards, you know what set you are buying from, but don't know exactly what you've got until you open the package! It's fun to open them up and see what's inside a blind box!
Why do you sell open blind boxes?So you've purchased a few boxes and just need a couple more to complete your set? Rather than risk getting doubles, many would rather know what they are buying to get a specific favorite, or to complete a set. BlindBoxes.com aims to provide a place to do just this, but keep in mind that we only open a modest supply so stocks for open items are very low and sometimes out of stock. If you want a listed item that is no longer in stock you can request to be put on a waiting list so we can notify you when it becomes available.
Why do some cost much more than others?Many sets vary the odds of finding various items. Some are common (inexpensive) and some can be very rare (expensive). So it depends upon the set and the odds assigned to the item in question. Buying the one you want guarantees you get what you are after and can be a great opportunity when you only want one or two specific items, but you can always buy a blind box and hope for the best!
What is a chaser?Many sets contain one or more rare items that are more difficult to find known as chasers. Some sets provide specific odds of getting them, others use question marks to simply express that while rare, they won't tell you firm odds of finding one. Due to the rare nature of chasers, they are often sought after and you can expect low stock if and when one is available in our shop.
Are blind boxes for kids?For the most part, the answer is no they are not. With the exception of the Disney Vinylmation figures which are listed as suitable for children over age three, all other products are not designed or made for children. They are not for use or handling by anyone under the age of 15. The reason is that the products have not been tested for lead, phthalates or any other hazardous or potentially harmful materials.
Do products ship with original packaging?Yes! In the rare case where a figure may not have original packaging available, it will be spelled out explicitly in the description area. If you happen to not care about packaging, you can optionally choose not to have original packaging included during checkout.
Do you ship overseas?Yes! We have partnered with International Checkout to provide a means for customers outside the United States to shop with BlindBoxes. Just fill your cart with your favorite blindboxes and click the "International Checkout" button when you are ready to check out!
