If you order shoes from Eastbay consider ordering something else as well. Doesn't have to be shoes. They will most like box it and add some stuffing paper and that good stuff.

1. Nike moved to using these eco-friendly boxes which are paper thin and can't hold up for nothing. Atleast the old boxes would hold up somewhat even after getting thrown around.
2. They use UPS. UPS and Fedex don't give a damn and throw boxes around like nothing. USPS(post office) were the only shipper where they didn't destroy boxes but that doesn't matter anymore because the new boxes cannot even be lightly thrown since it's literally like paper.

Only solution is order 2 or more pairs it will come double boxed if you aren't ordering Jordans. The other option is to pay the extra to double box like they offer when you checkout or just purchase instore.

These new Nike boxes are a travesty.  Dealing with them day in and day out has gotten really annoying.  They just dont stack the same, and break when you try to pull the box out... so annoying...

I wonder if Eastbay has automated packaging... kinda like what you see on those food network shows of them packaging up bags of chips... this would save them some $ which is prolly why they dont double box in the first place.  If you think about how many shoes/packages they ship day in day out, the cost of boxes would be huge.  
The boxes we use don't come cheap, but as we are sneaker guys ourselves, we try to approach things from a consumers point of view. Most def wouldnt want a foamposite shoe come in a plastic bag...

Agreed. Personally I feel like the boxes we use to double box are a necessity. Many of our buyers do collect and care about the condition of the boxes so we do the best we can. Also true that the new flimsy boxes Nike has been using hasn't helped the cause of people that don't double box.

Container Store is the way to go. Only collectors I suppose really care about keeping the actual box. They offer the gift method for a little extra if people want to keep this worthless shoe box which needs to be done away.  $200+ shoes warrant respectable cases Nike.  Lebron gets a slide out for cheaper shoe?  These deserve a badass case for once.  Foamposite is unlike any other and should have a stand out box.  @$%@%!$ just do it Nike

It is eastbay's fault, really. Did Eastbay stated that the box is FRAGILE while being sent in a bag?  How do you know if people who order from Eastbay do not care about the condition of the box in general? Did you take a poll? Especially if you spend about 2 bills for some sneakers) it does not matter if you are a collector or not. But the person receiving their shoes in with a damaged box is completely uncalled for. I was disgusted at looking at that box.
  
If they cared about the box then they would pay the extra for gift packaging and stop complaining since they don't pay tax or shipping.  Eastbay deals with bulk orders and could care less about someone who orders 1 pair of shoes for $200.  Yes they should use a normal shipping box when shipping 1 pair but they don't and we all know this so why do people act like this a surprise?  Foot Locker caters to the INDIVIDUAL while Eastbay does team sports. Find it amusing people whining about their box after dropping $200 on a pair of shoes, if you are too cheap to buy the gift packaging when ordering from Eastbay just go somewhere else.  I get disgusted reading dribble over a box like it is the end of the world. 



Ok, you do have a point about people acting like it is a surprise that they can get a beat up shoe box from Eastbay. At least some of us that is on this forum or ordered from Eastbay in the past should know that they are infamous for sending sneakers in a plastic bag unless you buy something extra or if it is a pair of Jordans from which I heard. I never actually purchased from Eastbay, but I attempted twice for the Air Jordan 3 DB and Air Jordan 7 Year of the Rabbit and failed both times. But, as I stated in my previous post, it is still uncalled for and UNACCEPTABLE, and I do not care how much the sneaker cost. This is BAD business. If that is the case, indicate on the plastic bag they ship it in and label it FRAGILE so that the Post Office has to be responsible for handling the package.
