    Got my first shipment of Kangaroos.. major disappointment.

    2 out of 4 boxes were damaged, never had this happen with Maple Leaf or American Eagles boxes.
    I guess some 'clever' designer made them pretty, but not strong enough.

    That is too bad, i was really looking forward to those boxes, lot of buyers would love to stack them, like they do with maples and eagles, but they are too fragile.

    looks like a packing problem and the result is damage whilst in transit

    They are class 5 Plastic. Very durable , mines are ok

    Look like they have been dropped hard. imo

    Transport problems, seen them throwing stuffs from mid-air :/

    I've seen cracked SML boxes before, and LOTS of smashed PAMP kilo boxes. Usually how they are boxed up.

    I like to flip silver and earn some pocket change while doing it. Its fun. :) I sure wish I would own few hundred boxes, or even a hundred. :)

    Did they come in the large cardboard boxes that are double the size of the plastic one, or have they been reboxed by the dealer?

    Please post picture showing all packaging used.

    These boxes are great. We are using the empty gor all sorts.
