Please do not harass or troll M3Toys on social media, I was just giving my first hand experience of buying mystery boxes from them with this video. I do not want hatred and trolling to fill their social media channels, that was not my intentions with this video. I was just giving my first hand experience as a youtuber as a mystery box opener/reviewer.
My son and I are fellow followers and we see your videos for more than the entertaining or interesting factors it has. You educated and inform many on what is to be expected from being a customer, (no just a youtuber) and that’s very valuable to the everyday joe looking to pick up this line of work, or even as a hobby. Thanks so much for this upload.

I knew within the first 30 seconds of listening to this guy's *slow, dragging* speech patterns and his consistent "and, uh's" between sentences to just skip ahead.
People out here criticizing him for ranting about tape but coming from someone that collects POPs. He has a huge point in this. The conditions of these shipped products are ridiculous, specially with being mystery boxes and coming from a company. Hes in the right.
Just adding onto this. If I hadn't complained to the company in town about this happening to me, they wouldn't have found out that the dude was doing this to everyone mysteries. I managed to get a free box of 5 because of this. If any serious Funko Pop collector is watching this listen to Otaku, and I here. They open them so they can take anything that is valuable, then give a shit basic one and retape it.
Ughhh... I hate dumb people. So first of all, youre buying fucking mystery boxes as an adult. There is no guarantee. This is gambling. With any form of gambling we accept that the house hedges the bets in their favor and that your "chance" is always at a disadvantage. Funko manufactures these toys. M3 buys them and resells them. They are a distributor. The boxes you are getting your toy in, ARE REPACKS! So what does this mean? This means that when M3 receives their shipment of bulk toys, they are organized and distributed throughout the warehouse. They KNOW what is inside each box. They then take overstock or slow moving product and categorize it into the "mystery" category. This typically is a mutually beneficial deal for the seller and the consumer. The seller gets to move product he has not been able to sell and the buyer gets a decent deal on a marked down unit. The seller can also mark this unit up a bit based on the "chance" that the buyer could get something better. So now we have a pile of "mystery" merchandise that is all placed in one portion of the warehouse. This product was selected by hand and these pieces were logged into a different portion of the inventory system, similar to clearance items. These pieces get boxed and prepared for shipment. The company now uses filler pieces to guarantee value. They go through the warehouse and select specific pieces that round out your purchase and bump your value up. This is an important distinction, because they were never searching your boxes to try and STEAL your prize... There was never a fucking prize to begin with. You were purchasing stock they were having issues moving or stock that they got at a good discount and could make a quick profit on. By checking your boxes they were ensuring that each customer received a baseline amount of value in good faith. Source: I used to own an airsoft distribution company and sold thousands and thousands of mystery boxes. Did you think this was just a warehouse full of random boxes that were unmarked at that employees were haphazardly walking around and picking boxes at random to send to clients??? How would you manage your inventory? How would you ensure that the guaranteed prizes were ever sent out? How would you log your customer complaints or manage any returns (most mystery boxes shouldnt even allow returns to maintain integrity for the contest)? How would you... Distribute? I obviously dont know their exact setup but good lord man, youre an adult! How cant you understand this?
@@Justaguyyoutubin idk if you watched the full video but he shows a screenshot of the page that it says "All packages are pre-packaged and sealed" when they receive them. So.... while I'd agree with you normally, the website themselves put themselves in a bind by lying like that.
@@ravenbanesgaming9404 "All packages are pre-packaged and sealed" which is a non-statement. It means nothing. The packages he got were technically sealed. When he complains about the seals being broken (the tape not being adhered to the package) they can simply say that the adhesive properties of the tape often fail with inconsistent temperatures due to shipping. I'm telling you... I sold mystery boxes for a living. I made an awful lot of money doing it. You are gambling. The house always wins. Want to know what the return policy will likely be? No returns. They may allow him to return these as a good faith gesture, but the company itself is completely protected when selling mystery boxes.
The boxes had clearly been tampered with, so I agree with you. I personally can't stand funkopops but if I was buying something sold as random to find out the items had been selected I'd be pissed
Agreed. Even with the items I buy second hand, a lot of the sellers will put in fresh packaging unless they still have the original box. Some even go so far as to re tape the original box to keep it looking as new as possible. This is honestly just bad business overall.
Yeah but that right there was super disrespectful and scumbag-ish ! Mad unprofessional from the start of them using two usps priority boxes as one box 🤦🏽♂️
But I’ll play devil’s advocate... since they used two usps boxes as one box looks like they were re-using used boxes they had 🤷🏽♂️... save a tree 🌲 type of thing maybe
I agree. I ship things everyday for work. We have a similar "mystery box". He got ripped off by the company. I'd be angry too if I spent money on that.
mattchu42069 lol, a woman likes to be called beautiful, pretty, or gorgeous... not “hot” esp a 30 something yr old. Just letting ya know. Thanks anyhow 😄👍
The company are idiots... if you are going to do that to your customers then don’t seal the boxes to begin with. Wait for the orders to come in, sort them how you want them and then seal them before you send them out. It’s not rocket surgery.
All i could think of is obviously some packers just font care about teh job they do . the brown boxes could have been reused boxes a person makes a order they pack the item up and is oh crap did i forget to put a card in a few boxes i better ope them up and make sure yep or nope i cant send this box out without a card ( keep in midn amazingly one was missing the card right ? my boss would have my ass . it happens a rare video where he just just doesnt score like he likes to like he expected to get a shipment with all rares and uncommons hey folks look at me i won big time. He never once shows the shipping label which he could use a black marker to cover up his address info right?I could go to my post off get a few boxes ( the outside boxes. I could go and get the boxes each funko was in and crappy tape them up in. as far as business card they could have been from a previous order he did for a few of his friends and kept teh cards . I kinda think that M3 woudl have special boxes with their logo like amazon does . but that is just me . I could easily stage this just as easy for a few bucks the post office boxes are free the brown inner boxes might cost me to make sure they are the same size . the packing tape well he gets it i am sure in other returns and a how do i make this box look fishy oh yea
Micha Lok , in his context? Cherry picked means it was deliberately filled with normie stuff and a few expensive pieces tossed in as opposed to random.
I don’t understand all the hate comments to this dude making fun of the tape. I’d be hella pissed if I bought mystery boxes that had already been opened. People are crooks!!
ITS A MYSTERY BOX. IF THE STUFF IS IN GOOD SHAPE KEEP IT MOVIN. Probably happend at the post office and that explains why the outside of the box was half sealed anyway. The Post Office figured they didnt want it so they half ass re-packaged it. Maybe.... Oh but the brown box fuzz is a tell tell sign that it wasnt the Post Office ..... lol - lmao. I defentaley got the wrong job......
He has every right to be upset. I won't buy from M3 toys because of this it shows their lack of ethics towards themselves and the customer. Not good and franchise kicks is 100% right.
Given the boxes had business cards in them it's totally possible that they didn't change any of them and were just putting their cards in there. Given they also probably order them on large crates they probably just open them to check inventory so they can claim that they have X number of uncommon available. Maybe not but just playing devils advocate.
5 of 6 boxes had biz cards the one none common didn't have a card and 6 of 6 boxes where opened then resealed. So to try and say they opened the boxes to put there biz card in is crazy talk and a complete waste of time and money. These boxes are advertised as prepacked and picked at random. So to pay someone to go reopen each box to put a biz card in it is just unrealistic. When in the real world you put the card in before sealing the box in the first place. This dude got screwed and the called them out. Bottom line he caught them falsely advertising. And that is a illegal act in America. Just saying
Regulations of False Advertising The federal Lanham Act allows civil lawsuits for false advertising that “misrepresents the nature, characteristics, qualities, or geographic origin” of goods or services. 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). The FTC also enforces false advertising laws on behalf of consumers.Nov 28, 2018
To anyone who doesn't understand. They are opening boxes taking good stuff replacing it with something else and claiming it's a mystery. The whole thing is a sham.
Lol its funny that this guy is pissed no duhh they know what they did, these people aren’t blindfolded they have to box it. Its only supposed to be random to the buyers not the seller lmao.
@@allmightymosthigh1076 The sellers knowing what they put in the boxes is obviously not the problem. But purposefully opening and re-sealing packages to keep most of the non commons to sell at full price IS the problem. The reason they keep most of the non commons is because they cost more than the normal ones. Its a shady business practice that shows the mystery boxes aren't even fully randomized. And he's a paying customer so he has the right to make a valid complaint rather than just let it slide.
Nelson J lol I don’t see why they wouldn’t just use a completely different box if they were doing that. If you’re going to scam with mystery boxes, you might as well do it well
@@allmightymosthigh1076 Exactly, this guy is just pissed because he didn't hit pay dirt and get mostly if not all uncommons. I'm sure if he got 120+ dollars worth of funkos , shoddy packaging wouldn't be an issue. Basically he broke even on over priced commons (The Blue Lantern is going for 30 dollars on Amazon.)
@@thehistorytheorist Yeah, you'd think they would separate the uncommons from the commons. Personally I think it would've be hilarious if there wasn't no signs of Tomfoolery and they ran this promotion like this goof suggest completely random, no signs of tampering and sent him 30 dollars worth of funkos. I mean after all it should also be completely random on both sides according to this guy.
If a company wants to stay in business, there has to be a level of customer trust. No trust, no business. M3 Toys was obviously in the wrong and man, what a horrible way to treat customers.
Especially the way they don't own up to what they did with what he said.. then once he dropped Thor's Hammer, all of a sudden they were nice about it. I wouldn't want to buy from a company who treats their customers like that! Recently someone purchased from me via ebay, I couldn't mail it out the next day due to me having a migraine and they were okay with it. That is good customer service :)
you just know this is the type of company that once caught, will apologize for being caught, not for their actions. All they'll do is be more careful while doing the same thing.
Thanks for your honesty. I get the feeling you could have gotten 6 commons and would have never complained had it not looked like your boxes were tampered with. Thanks for not allowing them to buy your silence. I have liked and replied to help with your engagement stats.
Oh hell ya gotta love how he just hammers on how he is SOOO Professional at his job. has he ever shownus him taping shit up to ship out to others and reaction videos from his customers OH HELL NO TOO MUCH WORK
That taped box looks terrible. Did that take you more than 5 seconds to read? No? Didn't think so. The video is almost 40 minutes long. He really didn't need to spend that much time talking about tape.
Dan Rodgers it's a bit funny and sad how a grown ass man makes such a big deal about stuff like that, he could've just made a lil 10 min video ranting but no
There is nothing wrong with wanting to get what you paid for. For wanting what was ADVERTISED. Hes not a baby for wanting a company to give him what THEY advertised. Just because it's a mystery box doesnt mean it's wrong to expect integrity.
Exactly what? You expect the tape to be rested perfectly on each individual box? It's a fucken mystery box not a iPhone. Who cares if it's already been opened. It's been opened by the company. 🤦♂️
@@smoothmarkymark7100 If you bought almost $100 worth of mystery boxes, a company would make sure it gets to you, untampered, so that the 'RNG' of what you get is legitimate. Meaning the tape on the boxes would be securely fastened to the box, not opened to see what the 'mystery item' would be before sending it out. The mystery should be a 360 degree, all around mystery to not only the company, but also the consumer. The box should also not have any signs of tampering, meaning no tape cut, no box cutter 'stab' wounds to the box, no dents looking like it was treated like a D.I.Y soccer ball, etc. You wouldn't want a product to come to you battered and beaten and tampered with. No one wants items they spend a good sum of money on, to come to their doorstep looking pre-owned, pre-opened, or pre-tampered with, especially if it's listed as 'Brand New'.
matt k who sealed it initially? how did their card get in the box? wouldn’t they just throw shit picks in there from the get-go if they were scamming people and not make it horribly obvious? logic people!
Juliette Clark exactly, what is this guy 40? Talking about this conspiracy about them making sure he got only one uncommon? You’re not a celebrity dude. We don’t always get what we want but on that note you didn’t film the delivery guy bringing the package to you so how do we know you didn’t open them?
Nah. He bought them for the actual box. But in all seriousness id be agged as well. Its like going to a casino and playing a machine that the casino rigged so you only hit maybe a grand once. Instead of having the chance of hitting the fucking jackpot like every other person playing.
Yeah, I have the same question too!- actually he talked about the tape alone for 3/4 of the video! lol (I still don't know why I sat here and actually watched the entire video).🤣
Yeah, I don't know what in my viewing history would make them think I would want to watch this. Usually my recommendations are pretty spot-on, but this... No.
Even after I clicked on the “not interested” button this video still popped into my recommendations multiple times.. I accidentally pressed the button. I give up. *THE* *DEFINITION* of him in this video... *Arrogant* *_adjective_** ar·ro·gant\ˈer-ə-gənt, ˈa-rə-\* *1 : exaggerating or disposed to exaggerate one's own worth or importance often by an overbearing manner an arrogant official* Edit: The amount of times he mentioned his weekly view count AND thousand plus subscribers was more annoying than TH-cam repeatedly recommending this video lol.. skipped the beginning and still counted 7 mentions
more than likely, someone for that company that ships them out, re opened them to see if there were good uncommon ones in there, then took out the uncommon more collectible ones and either saved them for himself or hooked up a friend of theirs! yes, boxes were unsealed then resealed, NOT double taped! that company is shady!!!!
Not saying they aren't shady, i never would have done this stupid deal to begin with, (blind box Funkos? So many garbage ones!!!), and now i wouldn't touch M3 with a pole. But why create this weird hypothetical of a shipper stealthily opening boxes to take rare valuable ones for his buddies on the side (wearing a fake mustache and glasses too!?). When its probably a 1 or 2 person operation, and they didn't have anything more valuable than that Flash in there to begin with.
while it is all just hypothetical, it is the first thing my mind wandered to while he was explaining the situation and condition of the boxes. However, I would like to add that it probably isn't just a "1 or 2" man operation since their customer service rep had to pass off the correspondence to the owner. It would only take that one crappy employee in shipping to pull off a stunt like this, make sure the best ones go to the right place, quick easy cash reselling the more valuable ones, and no one is any the wiser (or so they thought)
You got played. Funko very saturated- value down on many pieces. Companies selling ' mystery box ' for $10 a piece knowing damn well it's worth 5bucks - clearing inventory ;(
I appreciate your honesty and the fact that your not trying to change our minds but you are also putting in your input on it. It's so sweet. Your arent trashing them and saying "dont buy from them" your just saying "be careful with who you buy from" your a sweety
@@winidakit yeah but what if they re-use the boxes they originally got them in, open them up for "quality control" and to put the card in and then re-seal them? they'd only be guilty of being shitty at taping stuff then.
So during a criminal trial you are the one saying "OMG they are talking about a glove for an hour!" Yes, because the glove is the evidence of the crime...
Yo si le entendie bien lo que dijo pero si quieres puedes bajarle le velocidad del video yo no lo ago solo para musica o si tiene CC o subtitulos ponselo para que entiendas. I did understand what he was saying the tape was not properly taped was tampered they use the same tape to to seal it because is loose an cut by them because the company wanted to see if the person don't get to many high value ones or what ever reason what they did is wrong.
Or maybe they order bundle of this boxes and opened them up to see if the toys are in goo condiotion and put their card in it and than reseal it. They did not produce the toys , they just ship it.
@@kuyumdzhiev company could very easy have said we reuse boxes throw our card in and shuffle the boxes and ship random too. i think that explanation would a made him OK with it
haha no its fucking not. legal gambling includes regulatory oversight that conduct checks and balances to maintain legitimacy and fairness to customers. This is a lucky dip and you're gambling on the word and legitimacy of the seller. They could quite easily sell many more than the 100 mystery boxes and all of which are just commons. There's no way to know there's 86 commons and 14 exclusives without shit being opened and sealed/ repackaged. If the boxes are marked on the outside then well that fucks up the whole premise of mystery too doesn't it?
He's mad because it looks like someone scammed him. I don't blame him for how he is acting. I would be doing the same sh!t. When you pay money for a item and service, you want that item and 100% quality of that service. The service in this situation is you will receive 1 random Funko pop, which it can be either a common or a rare pop, which is completely random and not human manipulated in anyway.. People purchase mystery boxes for the enjoyment of the risk and the gamble of receiving a rare and expensive funko pop.. The boxes sure look like they were opened and then resealed. It looks like the company wanted to make sure that they weren't sending out 6 rare pops out to 1 single customer, because they think 1 or 2 rare pops would be fair for someone who purchase 6. and also that would take away the chances from their other customers . They wanted to make sure they weren't sending out 6 rare pops to the same person. That is wrong and I believe that's what happen in this case. I am glad that he posted this video to show the bad deeds about this not so honest company. Also, not to even mention that shadyness that they sent you those 6 boxes inside 2 large priority rate mail box, That is against USPS rules, and I am surprise that they allowed it to be shipped out like that and not returned to the sender. Those boxes are meant to only be used with Priority Rate Services and that's the only reason they give them out for free at the post office.You can't use 2 priority rate boxes for 1 priority rate shipping label. So for them to take advantage of the post office and not following their rules, I wonder what other rules they don't follow as well.
I'm now getting into Funko Pops. I watch your channel every day and just to let you know, in my opinion, you are my favorite TH-camr for watching Funko Pops mystery boxes. Now I know what company I won't buy from. Not that you said you won't buy from them again but because I watched it and I agree, it was fishy and their response was let say... not professional. I only have a few Funko Pops right now but most are from ebay but, I can't afford to buy a lot. I just wanted to let you know, you did the right thing and I appreciate the info. Thanks again!
@Donna Freezen What are you talking about? The business cards would have been put in the boxes when the company initially packaged and sealed the boxes.
You are tottally correct on this one. however the postal office will seal it better then it was in this video. so it was not opened by the postel office.
Good on ye Clint, for calling out their bs. There's nothing more annoying than a company who promises one thing, and doesn't deliver on that promise. As someone who grew up around a family business a company's reputation and integrity is their bond. There is no sure fire faster way to lose customers than to act like jerks when a customer has a legitimate complaint. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with you and understand why you are upset and would question boxes that have been opened up. I would want to know if something was stolen from the box. All of these boxes have been tampered with and as a customer you should be asking why. Also mystery lots are supposed to be random and a gamble it's not a mystery if owner is deliberately picking which items you are going to receive and using a bias because you brought the special deal he offered. He should be selling lots with listed items then for a set price not mystery lots. You did get ripped off and you should be upset and asking the questions you did and holding the company accountable for shady tactics. They obviously tampered with the boxes after sealing them to cherry pick which pops would be sent in mystery lot. They could have put their business card in the box when the pop was put into it, no excuses for improper packing and handling as reason for cutting and re-taping boxes.
Who cares about the tape being messed up or if it was opened. When you opened the box was the product inside the box or damaged? They were probably making sure you didnt get 6 of the same toy. Btw the mystery box should be a mystery to you. Who cares if it's not a mystery to the person filling the order. I kind of wish they sent you 6 of the same thing because they wanted it to be a mystery to them too
It matters because as soon as they got his order they COULD have looked inside each box and made sure he didn’t get more than one uncommon, doing this would make them more money and keep the burden of cost of the customer not on them. It’s dishonest, can you prove it? No but if I was an honest mystery box company and this happened maybe because of some other reasons, I’d give a honest answer and offer the refund, it says plain and clear on the disclaimer that the boxes are already “sealed”
Thank you in Advance. We’re are a company that was going to do business with m3 toys but we certainly won’t be touching this dudd with a barge pole. You just saved us a ton of money.We will just get our merchandise elsewhere
I know it’s not what you made the video. But I just want to say thank you. I struggle with depression, and anytime I need to laugh, I come back and watch this video and read the comments about the tape. It instantly cheers me up and makes me laugh. Again, I know it’s not why you made this video, but it’s gotten me through some low points. And for that I do thank you sir.
And so here’s my take on this. I think this dude‘s acting is ridiculous and his clear intention to cancel this company using his platform is far more severe than a $70 mystery box purchase. This time wastes thousands of dollars on single boxes and he’s sitting here overreacting about boxes that have been yes retrieved but he pretty much got $70 worth of parts anyway. Now. And three toys attending for sure for this guy to use this kind of cancel culture which is one of today’s biggest cancers is a dirt bag move on a person he is.
Love all the negative comments here from people who probably never have even bought a mystery box before lol. If I was Franchise Kicks and got this box of BS from M3Toys I'd have done a video were I was driving over them with a lawn mower and at the end I'd say "That's what I think of your fake mystery boxes."
dang, I almost bought from them. Good thing we've youtube - world's second largest search engines guiding us to right direction. I would have been screwed up had I not seen this video. Thanks boss
The bottom line is: a customer is not happy with the service received. It doesn't matter what happened. It doesn't matter why it happened. It doesn't matter how much it cost or how much money the buyer has. The customer made a choice to spend their money to buy something from the seller. The selling process was flawed for the customer. Some sellers will try to rip the customers off. Mr. Miller did us a favor by explaining why he was not satisfied and gave us information to help us notice if we get bad service and how to be prepared before contacting the seller. Buyer Beware.
Also, you could tell from Mr. Miller's facial expressions the second he opened the box that there was an issue. First impressions. Downhill from there. He looked like he was going to maybe let it slide, but then saw the same thing on each box.
I agree with you. Pay no mind to those complaining telling you to just deal with it, etc. They obviously have no idea how mystery boxes work. Mystery boxes are a "mystery" to you but are ALSO supposed to be a mystery to them as well. The sellers are NOT supposed to know what is in the boxes either. Knowing what's in the boxes allows them to manipulate the prices of said boxes and/or stack the boxes in their favor. That is NOT a "mystery" box, that's a sales scam that allows them to offload their junk they couldn't sell, returns they got burnt on, etc. Which in all honesty is what Amazon does, this is why they refund people's money even when they have been defrauded because they know they can just sell all this stuff to someone else by calling it a "mystery box" and make their money back. I have watched MANY of your vids and this is SO common with Amazon mystery boxes. So common you CANNOT think their boxes are true mystery boxes.
"If you are not satified with your Mystery Box order, we will make an EXCEPTION" - That alone gives answer that this is out of the norm for the company to give refunds & its a bandaid to the company due to the publicity of your social media. Some companies just need to be called out for what they represent.
The dead give away that the boxes were pre opened before you opened them is.....their buisiness card was in the box and when a toy is case fresh, they don't have bubble wrap in the box.
You do realize they packaged those boxes, right? Funko does not send them to sellers blind box. They put the card in at that time. Also, this guy goes off about the company speaking in circles. They were not. He was just trying to fall them out for any little thing at that point. They stated the boxes were already taped, and they put an extra layer on. They then stated they put one layer on top, and one on bottom. That layer was ONTOP of the pre-existing taped layer. Now the fact that they were taped horribly loose, or that the tape was cut is a different discussion, but the emailed reply was not circular logic. There would have been no point in that, even if the responding party was a good are of purposeful wrong doing.
Or maybe it was just plain the damn postal service opened and repackaged the boxes? They do it all the time and I've have broken, missing, and stolen items from that. Don't always blame the company who sold it. USPS is garbage!!
I wonder if this wasn't some random Joe in the shipping department trying to run a scam. He had friends order some boxes and made sure they got all of the high value ones and left the others in the box, without the owners knowledge? I'm not sure, just a thought.
I'm super impressed with the way you handled this. You didn't just throw up the video trashing the company, nor have you encouraged people to stop buying from them. Choosing not to do that shows integrity. To top it off you didn't even jump to the worse sinario. Instead of assuming they, or one of the employees kept the exclusives, you suggested they simply arranged the boxes so as they were "more fair" shall we say in that no one person walked away with more than one exclusive. This is why, even though I don't buy funko pops, I still love watching because I know I'm going to get great content. Thank you again. 😄
I know this vid is a little old and you probably don't wanna keep hearing about it but respect to you for not letting them buy you off after you told them who you were and they realized they effed up bad. You could have just taken a nice free package to stay quiet about it but you didn't and blew the whistle to save all the rest of us from shady business practices in the future. You call yourself the bad guy but in this video you were the total opposite. Thank you kindly my man.
At first, I was like: Dude, chill. But really, he has a point. the whole fun of buying mystery boxes is having a fair chance to get all 6 rare, or none rare. I feel ya man.
Dude, I don’t blame you for being pissed. I’ve never bought a Pop mystery box, but I want to try my hands at the higher dollar ones. I’m glad you did this video & showed what they’re up to so I don’t get scammed like you did.
what did you expect. mystery boxes are just a way to clear out stock.everyone knows this. also everyone reuses boxes. guess you know now. by the way, I have some mystery boxes for sale. $80 if you want one. no guarantees.
I think he needs to relise just getting funkos for that price are nice. I've worked for start ups and comic book stores that do this and most of them know EXACTLY what you are getting.
"Here we...Yes well...This tape is....*sigh*...This tape....This tape has been cut... It's been cut....Thie tape...*sigh*"-First ten minutes of the video.
Did none of you ever consider that they might have been opened by a postal inspector? Searching for contraband that is being sent through the mail? It was in a postal box.
@James Davis This was shipped from America to America. We don’t open peoples mail in a non socialist/communist country. We have a right to privacy here. What county are you from that your mail gets opened and your right to privacy gets invaded and you just accept it? If I received a package and it was opened by anyone other than customs (I don’t shop overseas so I don’t have that problem) I’d raise hell about it. We have privacy laws in America guaranteed by our constitution that no other country on earth enjoys.
@@michaelriddle2239 I live on a tiny island called Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands. It is part of the same chain of islands as Guam. Although it is an American territory there are still customs, and cell phones are considered international. Everything is inspected here and honestly, it does bother me that they open my mail.
orcas800 ok I understand now. Unfortunately when everything is considered foreign and goes through customs that’s something you have to deal with. Customs isn’t involved in shipping domestically so we don’t have that issue here, but when we get things from over seas we deal with the same mess that’s why I try to always buy domestic when I shop online so my privacy isn’t invaded. I’d imagine being from a tiny island buying domestic might be difficult.
I look at this even more so maddening than you. I think they were opening the boxes to make sure that you were not getting anything too valuable. They wanted to keep the creme of the crop for themselves. Maybe not even the company but a greedy employee. Who knows, but no matter what the cause the need clean up their business!
I purchase many items online and am in the habit of taking pictures before, during, and after (when necessary) for integrity purposes. I have also returned products due to damage/ tampering. Anyone who makes many purchases online should know to watch for issues such as this. Now the fact that these were supposed to be mystery boxes makes the tape issue even more important. The sealing, opening and resealing of the boxes makes it more than evident that these were NOT mystery boxes randomly chosen but rather purposely chosen to account for the purchase price. M3Toys should be ashamed of themselves! At least I know now not to purchase from that company.
Yes! Also by the way he looks at the box at 2:42 i started wondering if there was like a tiny alien or monster in there instead of a toy. I mean, thats pretty much exactly how i look at a box when i discover I've been sent a living, breathing mini alien instead of what i ordered.
Me and my son both have one of my boxes had water damage and one of his had been cut on the protective box coating mine was a kiss figure and his was a futrama grail of fry we called them on the damage the basically said f@#$ off your stuck with them and i call tampering on their part
THIS IS TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS, It's like going to a restaurant. Placing your order. They take too long to bring you your order. Finally it makes it to you. But the food they bring you is the same food you just seen taken off a different table. Would you be ok with that? If your honest with yourself Hell no you wouldn't be ok with that.
I appreciate you taking a chance on a company that your viewers didn’t want to take a chance on with their money. So imo you spending YOUR money on a company and giving us YOUR opinion on the packaging and on the products they sent YOU was EXACTLY why I clicked on this video to begin with. I appreciate that I don’t have the money to take a chance on a company for a mystery box. Also, in my experience, if the post office opens your packages will send a note with It stating what happened or at the very least a vague letter/note stating that they opened the boxes for “our security “ basically.
Never brought any "mystery boxes" feel it's too much of a gamble but understand why some do. Never watch your video's before but watch this very honest video and you a very correct. I was waiting for them to say they opened them to put a card inside, instead of taping on the outside !? And love how they dug an hole and you then dropped " the hammer " !
Nope, there were twenty pops to a batch, 5 rares. He thought if he could buy six he would raise his chances at getting multiples. He still got them in really good shape and well bellow retail. He got his monys worth just out of the blue lantern flash right there.
Sometimes you gotta be the bad guy on these companies that practice shady selling and shipping procedures. Hopefully, in the future, they will use this as a life lesson to not screw with the wrong person, TH-camr or not.
Please do not harass or troll M3Toys on social media, I was just giving my first hand experience of buying mystery boxes from them with this video. I do not want hatred and trolling to fill their social media channels, that was not my intentions with this video. I was just giving my first hand experience as a youtuber as a mystery box opener/reviewer.
I agree. You took a chance and purchased from this company. I personally want to thank you for doing these type of videos.
We need more youtubers like yourself !
You were probably talking to Monica Heredia, Michael’s Wife, before your email got forwarded to him.
My son and I are fellow followers and we see your videos for more than the entertaining or interesting factors it has. You educated and inform many on what is to be expected from being a customer, (no just a youtuber) and that’s very valuable to the everyday joe looking to pick up this line of work, or even as a hobby. Thanks so much for this upload.
You always say ill but so you don't have too. You got shafted so buy again from them so I don't have to
Hes right. I hate unprofessional companies that cant take responsibility for there own bs. Never buying from M3 toys

People out here criticizing him for ranting about tape but coming from someone that collects POPs. He has a huge point in this. The conditions of these shipped products are ridiculous, specially with being mystery boxes and coming from a company. Hes in the right.
Just adding onto this. If I hadn't complained to the company in town about this happening to me, they wouldn't have found out that the dude was doing this to everyone mysteries. I managed to get a free box of 5 because of this. If any serious Funko Pop collector is watching this listen to Otaku, and I here. They open them so they can take anything that is valuable, then give a shit basic one and retape it.
Ughhh... I hate dumb people. So first of all, youre buying fucking mystery boxes as an adult. There is no guarantee. This is gambling. With any form of gambling we accept that the house hedges the bets in their favor and that your "chance" is always at a disadvantage. Funko manufactures these toys. M3 buys them and resells them. They are a distributor. The boxes you are getting your toy in, ARE REPACKS! So what does this mean? This means that when M3 receives their shipment of bulk toys, they are organized and distributed throughout the warehouse. They KNOW what is inside each box. They then take overstock or slow moving product and categorize it into the "mystery" category. This typically is a mutually beneficial deal for the seller and the consumer. The seller gets to move product he has not been able to sell and the buyer gets a decent deal on a marked down unit. The seller can also mark this unit up a bit based on the "chance" that the buyer could get something better. So now we have a pile of "mystery" merchandise that is all placed in one portion of the warehouse. This product was selected by hand and these pieces were logged into a different portion of the inventory system, similar to clearance items. These pieces get boxed and prepared for shipment. The company now uses filler pieces to guarantee value. They go through the warehouse and select specific pieces that round out your purchase and bump your value up. This is an important distinction, because they were never searching your boxes to try and STEAL your prize... There was never a fucking prize to begin with. You were purchasing stock they were having issues moving or stock that they got at a good discount and could make a quick profit on. By checking your boxes they were ensuring that each customer received a baseline amount of value in good faith. Source: I used to own an airsoft distribution company and sold thousands and thousands of mystery boxes. Did you think this was just a warehouse full of random boxes that were unmarked at that employees were haphazardly walking around and picking boxes at random to send to clients??? How would you manage your inventory? How would you ensure that the guaranteed prizes were ever sent out? How would you log your customer complaints or manage any returns (most mystery boxes shouldnt even allow returns to maintain integrity for the contest)? How would you... Distribute? I obviously dont know their exact setup but good lord man, youre an adult! How cant you understand this?
@@Justaguyyoutubin idk if you watched the full video but he shows a screenshot of the page that it says "All packages are pre-packaged and sealed" when they receive them. So.... while I'd agree with you normally, the website themselves put themselves in a bind by lying like that.
@@ravenbanesgaming9404 "All packages are pre-packaged and sealed" which is a non-statement. It means nothing. The packages he got were technically sealed. When he complains about the seals being broken (the tape not being adhered to the package) they can simply say that the adhesive properties of the tape often fail with inconsistent temperatures due to shipping. I'm telling you... I sold mystery boxes for a living. I made an awful lot of money doing it. You are gambling. The house always wins. Want to know what the return policy will likely be? No returns. They may allow him to return these as a good faith gesture, but the company itself is completely protected when selling mystery boxes.

I think everyone would be mad if they got an already opened box in the mail
They didn't even make an effort to make it look untouched!!
Agreed. Even with the items I buy second hand, a lot of the sellers will put in fresh packaging unless they still have the original box. Some even go so far as to re tape the original box to keep it looking as new as possible. This is honestly just bad business overall.
Yeah but that right there was super disrespectful and scumbag-ish ! Mad unprofessional from the start of them using two usps priority boxes as one box 🤦🏽♂️
But I’ll play devil’s advocate... since they used two usps boxes as one box looks like they were re-using used boxes they had 🤷🏽♂️... save a tree 🌲 type of thing maybe
someone at that company was opening and taking any of the rares for themselves.
As someone who receives packaged goods and has shipped packaged goods he’s 100% right!! He was screwed over by this company.
Shame on them!
I agree. I ship things everyday for work. We have a similar "mystery box". He got ripped off by the company. I'd be angry too if I spent money on that.

mattchu42069 Lol...at least your honest about trolling... most are true trolls who hide behind a screen. 😆
The company are idiots... if you are going to do that to your customers then don’t seal the boxes to begin with. Wait for the orders to come in, sort them how you want them and then seal them before you send them out. It’s not rocket surgery.
All i could think of is obviously some packers just font care about teh job they do . the brown boxes could have been reused boxes a person makes a order they pack the item up and is oh crap did i forget to put a card in a few boxes i better ope them up and make sure yep or nope i cant send this box out without a card ( keep in midn amazingly one was missing the card right ? my boss would have my ass . it happens a rare video where he just just doesnt score like he likes to like he expected to get a shipment with all rares and uncommons hey folks look at me i won big time. He never once shows the shipping label which he could use a black marker to cover up his address info right?I could go to my post off get a few boxes ( the outside boxes. I could go and get the boxes each funko was in and crappy tape them up in. as far as business card they could have been from a previous order he did for a few of his friends and kept teh cards . I kinda think that M3 woudl have special boxes with their logo like amazon does . but that is just me . I could easily stage this just as easy for a few bucks the post office boxes are free the brown inner boxes might cost me to make sure they are the same size . the packing tape well he gets it i am sure in other returns and a how do i make this box look fishy oh yea
Rocket surgery. That sounds dangerous
@@digi3391 You need to know the science behind it!

To obvious that your mystery box was cherry picked, way obvious.
I wonder if they knew who they were dealing with, since Mr. Miller is known in the Funko Pop realm.
I don't think it's real either
What does "cherry picked" mean?
Micha Lok , in his context? Cherry picked means it was deliberately filled with normie stuff and a few expensive pieces tossed in as opposed to random.
Angel Villarreal ok how

yes, but would you have gone on to complain about tape for 20 minutes?
ITS A MYSTERY BOX. IF THE STUFF IS IN GOOD SHAPE KEEP IT MOVIN. Probably happend at the post office and that explains why the outside of the box was half sealed anyway. The Post Office figured they didnt want it so they half ass re-packaged it. Maybe....

You're a little bitch, sort of like this big bitch
Given the boxes had business cards in them it's totally possible that they didn't change any of them and were just putting their cards in there. Given they also probably order them on large crates they probably just open them to check inventory so they can claim that they have X number of uncommon available. Maybe not but just playing devils advocate.
5 of 6 boxes had biz cards the one none common didn't have a card and 6 of 6 boxes where opened then resealed. So to try and say they opened the boxes to put there biz card in is crazy talk and a complete waste of time and money. These boxes are advertised as prepacked and picked at random. So to pay someone to go reopen each box to put a biz card in it is just unrealistic. When in the real world you put the card in before sealing the box in the first place. This dude got screwed and the called them out. Bottom line he caught them falsely advertising. And that is a illegal act in America. Just saying

To anyone who doesn't understand. They are opening boxes taking good stuff replacing it with something else and claiming it's a mystery. The whole thing is a sham.
Lol its funny that this guy is pissed no duhh they know what they did, these people aren’t blindfolded they have to box it. Its only supposed to be random to the buyers not the seller lmao.
@@allmightymosthigh1076 The sellers knowing what they put in the boxes is obviously not the problem. But purposefully opening and re-sealing packages to keep most of the non commons to sell at full price IS the problem. The reason they keep most of the non commons is because they cost more than the normal ones. Its a shady business practice that shows the mystery boxes aren't even fully randomized. And he's a paying customer so he has the right to make a valid complaint rather than just let it slide.
Nelson J lol I don’t see why they wouldn’t just use a completely different box if they were doing that. If you’re going to scam with mystery boxes, you might as well do it well
@@allmightymosthigh1076 Exactly, this guy is just pissed because he didn't hit pay dirt and get mostly if not all uncommons. I'm sure if he got 120+ dollars worth of funkos , shoddy packaging wouldn't be an issue. Basically he broke even on over priced commons (The Blue Lantern is going for 30 dollars on Amazon.)
@@thehistorytheorist Yeah, you'd think they would separate the uncommons from the commons. Personally I think it would've be hilarious if there wasn't no signs of Tomfoolery and they ran this promotion like this goof suggest completely random, no signs of tampering and sent him 30 dollars worth of funkos. I mean after all it should also be completely random on both sides according to this guy.
If a company wants to stay in business, there has to be a level of customer trust. No trust, no business. M3 Toys was obviously in the wrong and man, what a horrible way to treat customers.
Especially the way they don't own up to what they did with what he said.. then once he dropped Thor's Hammer, all of a sudden they were nice about it. I wouldn't want to buy from a company who treats their customers like that! Recently someone purchased from me via ebay, I couldn't mail it out the next day due to me having a migraine and they were okay with it. That is good customer service :)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to get what you paid for. For wanting what was ADVERTISED. Hes not a baby for wanting a company to give him what THEY advertised. Just because it's a mystery box doesnt mean it's wrong to expect integrity.
Exactly
Exactly what? You expect the tape to be rested perfectly on each individual box? It's a fucken mystery box not a iPhone. Who cares if it's already been opened. It's been opened by the company. 🤦♂️
It was sealed. then unsealed....... Thats the problem. he cares because he bought random odds but the odds where fixed. It isnt hard to understand.
@@smoothmarkymark7100 If you bought almost $100 worth of mystery boxes, a company would make sure it gets to you, untampered, so that the 'RNG' of what you get is legitimate. Meaning the tape on the boxes would be securely fastened to the box, not opened to see what the 'mystery item' would be before sending it out. The mystery should be a 360 degree, all around mystery to not only the company, but also the consumer. The box should also not have any signs of tampering, meaning no tape cut, no box cutter 'stab' wounds to the box, no dents looking like it was treated like a D.I.Y soccer ball, etc. You wouldn't want a product to come to you battered and beaten and tampered with. No one wants items they spend a good sum of money on, to come to their doorstep looking pre-owned, pre-opened, or pre-tampered with, especially if it's listed as 'Brand New'.
matt k who sealed it initially? how did their card get in the box? wouldn’t they just throw shit picks in there from the get-go if they were scamming people and not make it horribly obvious? logic people!
This guy only bought the mystery box for the tape and the funko pops were just an added bonus.

We don’t always get what we want but on that note you didn’t film the delivery guy bringing the package to you so how do we know you didn’t open them?
Nah. He bought them for the actual box. But in all seriousness id be agged as well. Its like going to a casino and playing a machine that the casino rigged so you only hit maybe a grand once. Instead of having the chance of hitting the fucking jackpot like every other person playing.
Guessing all the ones missing cards were swapped out. If I counted correctly, there were 3.

Same here 😂
more than likely, someone for that company that ships them out, re opened them to see if there were good uncommon ones in there, then took out the uncommon more collectible ones and either saved them for himself or hooked up a friend of theirs! yes, boxes were unsealed then resealed, NOT double taped! that company is shady!!!!
exactly what I was thinking ;)
if they are that shady, why do you think there were ever super rare ones in the collection to begin with?
Not saying they aren't shady, i never would have done this stupid deal to begin with, (blind box Funkos? So many garbage ones!!!), and now i wouldn't touch M3 with a pole. But why create this weird hypothetical of a shipper stealthily opening boxes to take rare valuable ones for his buddies on the side (wearing a fake mustache and glasses too!?). When its probably a 1 or 2 person operation, and they didn't have anything more valuable than that Flash in there to begin with.
while it is all just hypothetical, it is the first thing my mind wandered to while he was explaining the situation and condition of the boxes. However, I would like to add that it probably isn't just a "1 or 2" man operation since their customer service rep had to pass off the correspondence to the owner. It would only take that one crappy employee in shipping to pull off a stunt like this, make sure the best ones go to the right place, quick easy cash reselling the more valuable ones, and no one is any the wiser (or so they thought)
The company is doing public CYA while internally firing the shipping dept.
You got played. Funko very saturated- value down on many pieces. Companies selling ' mystery box ' for $10 a piece knowing damn well it's worth 5bucks - clearing inventory ;(
The $10 ones and you get a $5 one. Is to balance out values so the company making the mystery boxes doesn't lose money.

it's like if you went in to get a scratch off lotto ticket, and it was already scratched off.
Or maybe they order bundle of this boxes and opened them up to see if the toys are in goo condiotion and put their card in it and than reseal it. They did not produce the toys , they just ship it.
It’s actually nothing like that

You can always tape the card to the box. No need to open it.
haha no its fucking not. legal gambling includes regulatory oversight that conduct checks and balances to maintain legitimacy and fairness to customers. This is a lucky dip and you're gambling on the word and legitimacy of the seller. They could quite easily sell many more than the 100 mystery boxes and all of which are just commons. There's no way to know there's 86 commons and 14 exclusives without shit being opened and sealed/ repackaged. If the boxes are marked on the outside then well that fucks up the whole premise of mystery too doesn't it?
This guys mad because he spent 70 dollars on 70 dollars worth of stuff
Wow. Funny that aye lol
Well they're Funko Pops so they're actually worthless.
He's mad because it looks like someone scammed him. I don't blame him for how he is acting. I would be doing the same sh!t. When you pay money for a item and service, you want that item and 100% quality of that service. The service in this situation is you will receive 1 random Funko pop, which it can be either a common or a rare pop, which is completely random and not human manipulated in anyway.. People purchase mystery boxes for the enjoyment of the risk and the gamble of receiving a rare and expensive funko pop.. The boxes sure look like they were opened and then resealed. It looks like the company wanted to make sure that they weren't sending out 6 rare pops out to 1 single customer, because they think 1 or 2 rare pops would be fair for someone who purchase 6. and also that would take away the chances from their other customers . They wanted to make sure they weren't sending out 6 rare pops to the same person. That is wrong and I believe that's what happen in this case. I am glad that he posted this video to show the bad deeds about this not so honest company. Also, not to even mention that shadyness that they sent you those 6 boxes inside 2 large priority rate mail box, That is against USPS rules, and I am surprise that they allowed it to be shipped out like that and not returned to the sender. Those boxes are meant to only be used with Priority Rate Services and that's the only reason they give them out for free at the post office.You can't use 2 priority rate boxes for 1 priority rate shipping label. So for them to take advantage of the post office and not following their rules, I wonder what other rules they don't follow as well.

So true
@Donna Freezen What are you talking about? The business cards would have been put in the boxes when the company initially packaged and sealed the boxes.
When opened they will leave a note and a reason why.
You are tottally correct on this one. however the postal office will seal it better then it was in this video. so it was not opened by the postel office.
@@henriknielsen6618 Absolutely correct!!
I agree 100% with you.
And I'm saying I won't be buying from M3toys
Same here
Good on ye Clint, for calling out their bs. There's nothing more annoying than a company who promises one thing, and doesn't deliver on that promise. As someone who grew up around a family business a company's reputation and integrity is their bond. There is no sure fire faster way to lose customers than to act like jerks when a customer has a legitimate complaint.
Keep up the good work!
I totally agree with you and understand why you are upset and would question boxes that have been opened up. I would want to know if something was stolen from the box. All of these boxes have been tampered with and as a customer you should be asking why. Also mystery lots are supposed to be random and a gamble it's not a mystery if owner is deliberately picking which items you are going to receive and using a bias because you brought the special deal he offered. He should be selling lots with listed items then for a set price not mystery lots. You did get ripped off and you should be upset and asking the questions you did and holding the company accountable for shady tactics. They obviously tampered with the boxes after sealing them to cherry pick which pops would be sent in mystery lot. They could have put their business card in the box when the pop was put into it, no excuses for improper packing and handling as reason for cutting and re-taping boxes.
Who cares about the tape being messed up or if it was opened. When you opened the box was the product inside the box or damaged? They were probably making sure you didnt get 6 of the same toy.
Btw the mystery box should be a mystery to you. Who cares if it's not a mystery to the person filling the order. I kind of wish they sent you 6 of the same thing because they wanted it to be a mystery to them too
Scorpion Kitty nice point !!!
Yep
6 of the same common* Dude deserves no more than that.
How did he think the business card got in the box. The company is the one putting the pops in the boxes in the first place
It matters because as soon as they got his order they COULD have looked inside each box and made sure he didn’t get more than one uncommon, doing this would make them more money and keep the burden of cost of the customer not on them. It’s dishonest, can you prove it? No but if I was an honest mystery box company and this happened maybe because of some other reasons, I’d give a honest answer and offer the refund, it says plain and clear on the disclaimer that the boxes are already “sealed”
Thank you in Advance. We’re are a company that was going to do business with m3 toys but we certainly won’t be touching this dudd with a barge pole. You just saved us a ton of money.We will just get our merchandise elsewhere
I know it’s not what you made the video. But I just want to say thank you. I struggle with depression, and anytime I need to laugh, I come back and watch this video and read the comments about the tape.
It instantly cheers me up and makes me laugh.
Again, I know it’s not why you made this video, but it’s gotten me through some low points. And for that I do thank you sir.
I’m not a pop collector but a reseller and this is well shady and you 100% caught them out.
And so here’s my take on this. I think this dude‘s acting is ridiculous and his clear intention to cancel this company using his platform is far more severe than a $70 mystery box purchase. This time wastes thousands of dollars on single boxes and he’s sitting here overreacting about boxes that have been yes retrieved but he pretty much got $70 worth of parts anyway. Now. And three toys attending for sure for this guy to use this kind of cancel culture which is one of today’s biggest cancers is a dirt bag move on a person he is.
Did anyone catch if he mentioned how many followers he has? I might have missed it if he did.
Love all the negative comments here from people who probably never have even bought a mystery box before lol. If I was Franchise Kicks and got this box of BS from M3Toys I'd have done a video were I was driving over them with a lawn mower and at the end I'd say "That's what I think of your fake mystery boxes."
dang, I almost bought from them. Good thing we've youtube - world's second largest search engines guiding us to right direction. I would have been screwed up had I not seen this video. Thanks boss
This was painful to watch.............
11:35 Is when He finally opens a Box.... Whew!
Thank you!
Wow jackass
Thank you!!
I agree with you 100% . This to me seems like just bad business.
Thanks to the comments I will not waste 30 minutes of my life
The bottom line is: a customer is not happy with the service received. It doesn't matter what happened. It doesn't matter why it happened. It doesn't matter how much it cost or how much money the buyer has. The customer made a choice to spend their money to buy something from the seller. The selling process was flawed for the customer. Some sellers will try to rip the customers off. Mr. Miller did us a favor by explaining why he was not satisfied and gave us information to help us notice if we get bad service and how to be prepared before contacting the seller. Buyer Beware.
Also, you could tell from Mr. Miller's facial expressions the second he opened the box that there was an issue. First impressions. Downhill from there. He looked like he was going to maybe let it slide, but then saw the same thing on each box.
At first I think all of this was some kind of comedy parody, but then I realized this guy was totally serious about tape. Wow.
great video, I don't buy mystery boxes. I feel like you get exactly what you pay for, nothing more, nothing less.
I agree with you. Pay no mind to those complaining telling you to just deal with it, etc. They obviously have no idea how mystery boxes work. Mystery boxes are a "mystery" to you but are ALSO supposed to be a mystery to them as well. The sellers are NOT supposed to know what is in the boxes either. Knowing what's in the boxes allows them to manipulate the prices of said boxes and/or stack the boxes in their favor. That is NOT a "mystery" box, that's a sales scam that allows them to offload their junk they couldn't sell, returns they got burnt on, etc. Which in all honesty is what Amazon does, this is why they refund people's money even when they have been defrauded because they know they can just sell all this stuff to someone else by calling it a "mystery box" and make their money back. I have watched MANY of your vids and this is SO common with Amazon mystery boxes. So common you CANNOT think their boxes are true mystery boxes.
It basically turns mystery boxes into loot boxes
Grown man upset by the toys he bought. 🙄
"If you are not satified with your Mystery Box order, we will make an EXCEPTION" - That alone gives answer that this is out of the norm for the company to give refunds & its a bandaid to the company due to the publicity of your social media.
Some companies just need to be called out for what they represent.
The dead give away that the boxes were pre opened before you opened them is.....their buisiness card was in the box and when a toy is case fresh, they don't have bubble wrap in the box.
You do realize they packaged those boxes, right? Funko does not send them to sellers blind box. They put the card in at that time.
Also, this guy goes off about the company speaking in circles. They were not. He was just trying to fall them out for any little thing at that point. They stated the boxes were already taped, and they put an extra layer on. They then stated they put one layer on top, and one on bottom. That layer was ONTOP of the pre-existing taped layer. Now the fact that they were taped horribly loose, or that the tape was cut is a different discussion, but the emailed reply was not circular logic. There would have been no point in that, even if the responding party was a good are of purposeful wrong doing.
@@lelandbeauchamp427 They could have put their cards in the outer box or taped them to the outside. The company had their chance to give this reason.
Or maybe it was just plain the damn postal service opened and repackaged the boxes? They do it all the time and I've have broken, missing, and stolen items from that. Don't always blame the company who sold it. USPS is garbage!!
@@lelandbeauchamp427 Lol you watched a completely different video then me. Watch the whole video and then realize how stupid your comment is
I'm sorry to hear you received $70 worth of Pops for $70.
Thats not the effin point. Dumbass
😂😂😂
He got stuck with the shipping costs
Cris Cee I'm sure his business will not crumble as a result. He'll be fine
lol seriously
I wonder if this wasn't some random Joe in the shipping department trying to run a scam. He had friends order some boxes and made sure they got all of the high value ones and left the others in the box, without the owners knowledge? I'm not sure, just a thought.
nah its happened to others two i respect this opinion though
:)
Never seen someone so amazed by tape on a box.
Guy is actually pretty mellow. I'd be pissed if my package were tampered with in any way.
Its tape in a box Tapin a card board Box there's a song about it somewhere!
I'm super impressed with the way you handled this. You didn't just throw up the video trashing the company, nor have you encouraged people to stop buying from them. Choosing not to do that shows integrity. To top it off you didn't even jump to the worse sinario. Instead of assuming they, or one of the employees kept the exclusives, you suggested they simply arranged the boxes so as they were "more fair" shall we say in that no one person walked away with more than one exclusive. This is why, even though I don't buy funko pops, I still love watching because I know I'm going to get great content. Thank you again. 😄
Jesus dude just open the boxes. "What's in the box!"
Cheeky Jawa but then it’s not a mystery any more! :-)
Frosted flakes nigga damn.

@@nomad0874 lmao
I know this vid is a little old and you probably don't wanna keep hearing about it but respect to you for not letting them buy you off after you told them who you were and they realized they effed up bad. You could have just taken a nice free package to stay quiet about it but you didn't and blew the whistle to save all the rest of us from shady business practices in the future.
You call yourself the bad guy but in this video you were the total opposite. Thank you kindly my man.
At first, I was like: Dude, chill. But really, he has a point. the whole fun of buying mystery boxes is having a fair chance to get all 6 rare, or none rare. I feel ya man.
Plot twist: your original packaging was 6 boxes of Garth.
Sounds like an excellent party time.
Dont blame you at all for being mad and frustrated Clint. I totally agree with you on never buying from M3Toys
Dude, I don’t blame you for being pissed. I’ve never bought a Pop mystery box, but I want to try my hands at the higher dollar ones. I’m glad you did this video & showed what they’re up to so I don’t get scammed like you did.
what did you expect. mystery boxes are just a way to clear out stock.everyone knows this. also everyone reuses boxes. guess you know now. by the way, I have some mystery boxes for sale. $80 if you want one. no guarantees.
This dude needs that family guy clip of Peter saying “Oh my god, who the hell cares!?”
Or this

I think he needs to relise just getting funkos for that price are nice. I've worked for start ups and comic book stores that do this and most of them know EXACTLY what you are getting.
That really grinds my gears

14 minutes in....
'WHAT'S IN THE BOX????!!!?!??'
Seven deadly dragouts maybe ???
No kidding. Too fixated on box fuzz
Thumbs up Sir. You did the right and morale thing.
You are sincerely being responsible to your viewers/subscribers. That’s integrity. Respect.
"Here we...Yes well...This tape is....*sigh*...This tape....This tape has been cut... It's been cut....Thie tape...*sigh*"-First ten minutes of the video.
If this went over seas it may have been inspected by customs, especially because of the weird double boxing they did would be a red flag for customs.
Exactly, this man is overreacting. He really said "maybe they didnt want me getting too many grails." Wtf? He needs to get off his high horse.
Customs Inspections look different than what I was seeing.
He's a man child
There is absolutely no way a customs inspection re-tape would look ANYTHING like that.
I distrust *all* mystery boxes, Unless the price per unit is super super low (which is usually rare).
Did none of you ever consider that they might have been opened by a postal inspector? Searching for contraband that is being sent through the mail? It was in a postal box.
This is an extremely underrated comment. I wasn't even thinking about it until you mentioned it
I live on Rota and they open all of our mail to check for customs.
@James Davis This was shipped from America to America. We don’t open peoples mail in a non socialist/communist country. We have a right to privacy here. What county are you from that your mail gets opened and your right to privacy gets invaded and you just accept it? If I received a package and it was opened by anyone other than customs (I don’t shop overseas so I don’t have that problem) I’d raise hell about it. We have privacy laws in America guaranteed by our constitution that no other country on earth enjoys.
@@michaelriddle2239 I live on a tiny island called Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands. It is part of the same chain of islands as Guam. Although it is an American territory there are still customs, and cell phones are considered international. Everything is inspected here and honestly, it does bother me that they open my mail.
orcas800 ok I understand now. Unfortunately when everything is considered foreign and goes through customs that’s something you have to deal with. Customs isn’t involved in shipping domestically so we don’t have that issue here, but when we get things from over seas we deal with the same mess that’s why I try to always buy domestic when I shop online so my privacy isn’t invaded. I’d imagine being from a tiny island buying domestic might be difficult.
I look at this even more so maddening than you. I think they were opening the boxes to make sure that you were not getting anything too valuable. They wanted to keep the creme of the crop for themselves. Maybe not even the company but a greedy employee. Who knows, but no matter what the cause the need clean up their business!
or to make sure there were no doubles
I purchase many items online and am in the habit of taking pictures before, during, and after (when necessary) for integrity purposes. I have also returned products due to damage/ tampering. Anyone who makes many purchases online should know to watch for issues such as this.
Now the fact that these were supposed to be mystery boxes makes the tape issue even more important. The sealing, opening and resealing of the boxes makes it more than evident that these were NOT mystery boxes randomly chosen but rather purposely chosen to account for the purchase price. M3Toys should be ashamed of themselves! At least I know now not to purchase from that company.
They would have lost my business when I saw the way they shipped them in two priority mail boxes sealed with less tape than the Pops.
11:36 when he opens the surprise box
Thanks
thanks
damn watching you fumble with confusion in opening the boxes was really frustrating..wtf
absolutely right - nine minutes gone and the eejit is still going on about parcel tape FFs
My first view of your channel and my last. Annoying dumb fuck.
@@raymondo162 -- eejit....thought I was the only one that still uses this word! But then again, I'm old school. Peace!
@@Kementiri he might not be around for another video, breathing pretty heavy j
, just to talk about tape
@Ne Ne Zilla ... I don't know what part of the world you're from, but here in the midwest USA we have a similar term, idjit, means the same thing lol.
Requesting video re title. "Let's talk about tape for half the video."
Yes! Also by the way he looks at the box at 2:42 i started wondering if there was like a tiny alien or monster in there instead of a toy. I mean, thats pretty much exactly how i look at a box when i discover I've been sent a living, breathing mini alien instead of what i ordered.
Same
11 minutes in I was like Brad Pitt in Seven "WHAT'S IN THE BOOOOX?!"
lmfao
im dying here lol
I’m at 5 min and already there! LOl
Best comment ever. Had a really good laugh
Skip to 13 minutes to start unboxing. Yes. 13 minutes.
Was thinking the same...
Actually 11minutes
To be fair, the unboxing is obviously the least important part of this video...
EA would call this "surprise mechanics" and not mystery boxes.
FugginGene I had the same exact felling
Me and my son both have one of my boxes had water damage and one of his had been cut on the protective box coating mine was a kiss figure and his was a futrama grail of fry we called them on the damage the basically said f@#$ off your stuck with them and i call tampering on their part
THIS IS TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING NEGATIVE COMMENTS, It's like going to a restaurant. Placing your order. They take too long to bring you your order. Finally it makes it to you. But the food they bring you is the same food you just seen taken off a different table.
Would you be ok with that? If your honest with yourself Hell no you wouldn't be ok with that.
Oh god, no it's nothing like that.
I think that's a little different lol
I appreciate you taking a chance on a company that your viewers didn’t want to take a chance on with their money. So imo you spending YOUR money on a company and giving us YOUR opinion on the packaging and on the products they sent YOU was EXACTLY why I clicked on this video to begin with. I appreciate that I don’t have the money to take a chance on a company for a mystery box. Also, in my experience, if the post office opens your packages will send a note with It stating what happened or at the very least a vague letter/note stating that they opened the boxes for “our security “ basically.
Never brought any "mystery boxes" feel it's too much of a gamble but understand why some do. Never watch your video's before but watch this very honest video and you a very correct. I was waiting for them to say they opened them to put a card inside, instead of taping on the outside !?
And love how they dug an hole and you then dropped " the hammer " !
Nope, there were twenty pops to a batch, 5 rares. He thought if he could buy six he would raise his chances at getting multiples. He still got them in really good shape and well bellow retail. He got his monys worth just out of the blue lantern flash right there.
Can you please repeat yourself a few more times
Sometimes you gotta be the bad guy on these companies that practice shady selling and shipping procedures.
Hopefully, in the future, they will use this as a life lesson to not screw with the wrong person, TH-camr or not.
