This! Especially since most shipping companies and big online retailers are focused on speed over handling care now a days. Given that a lot of people order online these days, and companies keep pushing for selling more products, this is the result: cutting costs on packaging and more likely-hood of damage to it.
Often the product never makes it to the customer because the packaging gets crushed , torn, damaged in some fashion while in transit. In this case, the delivery drivers use discretion and return the items. In the US it is common for a shipment to be delayed by a couple of days when this happens. The glitter dots seem to be a disaster in the making so start with those 😄
@@DoodleDate at least in the US you can get Amazon warehouse deals on most products. It is always worth looking at the other sellers list and reading the description. I got a pressure cooker "like new with damaged packaging" and then it had a big dent on the side. I did a chat with them and they offered me an additional 20% off and since it was on the back and didn't affect the functionality I accepted! Also, I have seen stores that buy random pallets of Amazon returns (I assume very cheaply) and then resell what they can. Things will be missing parts or just broken etc.
Fun science fact about the magic light brush...the paper is a pH reader. This means that each color is associated with a level of an acid or base to show up on the paper.
when I got my headset, I decided to try out the used one, because it was 50€ off (new one would’ve been 150€), it came like new but was missing a charging cable, I had tons of cables at home but decided to contact amazon anyway, and they gave me 50€ back for the cable 😂 I ended up paying 50€ for a 150€ headset
This is like if Steph and Adam made a tv show called “Doctor Art”’ where Steph the nurse finds art supplies and brings them into the hospital in different conditions and Adam is the doctor and you two try to rehabilitate art supplies back to full health so they can be free to be used.
Ikr! I saw a 24 set of those infamous confetti crayons at Wal-Mart and had to reason myself out of buying them from sheer curiosity after seeing Adam & Steph's video 😂
I used to have the color wonder markers as a kid!! I used to draw on anything I got my hands on and I think my parents got tired of me getting crayon on important stuff so they gave me a LOT of those pages and markers 🤣
good to see you guys in good spirits, I hope you two are doing well! I'd love to see you guys use any of these, with how sassy adam is with crayola it will be a fun video no matter what.
I'm surprised how good of a condition all of these were in! I was well worried about the glitter dot set, that would of been the worst one to receive in used condition haha I'm excited to see what you do with these kits : D I hope you both and Patches are coping well, thank you for the entertainment. I really like watching your videos, and this one was no exception! : D
I work in an amazon warehouse in the US and most of the time these damaged packages are ran over by the robots or damaged in shipping 🤖 also as a packer, shame on that first package! I never send it in plastic lol
Sometimes people opt to return products with packaging that was damaged in shipping rather than risk opening the package and trying to deal with getting an opened damaged product refunded
Yeah this! The way amazon operates is to just ship out stuff at maximum speed & ignore damages that can occur, because it's still more profitable. Boxes especially take the brunt of rough handling and shipping.
I'm excited for all of these, I think the unicorn and the color light thing most of all. Unicorns because it reminds me of the shoes, light thing because I'm so curious how it works.
Hullo Guys, I am not as excited as Steph is about Crayola products. So Please create with whichever item pulls at you most. I will enjoy your company more than any particular item you create with! You both are truly amazing Artists and I do enjoy your videos. Thank you for continuing to create and I wish to thank your Patreon sponsors as well, Thank You for supporting Adam & Steph for being able to create Art for ALL!
Oh I had the color wonder stuff as a toddler! That line has been available in the US for at least 15 years. From what I remember the markers worked, but the ink would fade off the paper after like 6 months, even if it was stored in the dark. I wonder why Crayola doesn't sell it in the UK.
Omg I forgot about the crayola glitter dots those do suck lol. I picked a smaller package for a few bucks many years ago and they DO NOT stick onto paper if a remember correctly and have a play doh like texture. Very interested to see what you guys would do with them because it’s definitely a contender for worst crayola product ever lol
I work in shipping and we see so many boxes that look like these or worse! Travel is very hard on boxes. 😅 I always just hope the things inside are still in good condition as they go on to the customers.
Honestly I am also just so excited to see quite a few of your crayola videos popping off and getting quite a bit of views recently Fingers crossed that people are rediscovering the wonders of doodle date!
Back before amazon was a thing, my dad went to some sort of auction and bought a load of toys that had been returned to a store. They were mostly genuinely broken but there were 4 of those double ended lightsabers that you could extend by waving them. They were each missing some of the light parts, but my brother and I were able to assemble two fully functional toys by stripping parts off the other two. Which was awesome because they were quite expensive new and really fun to hit each other with.
I’d personally like to see you use the magic color first then maybe the glitter dots! I think you could make such a cool artwork with the magic color pallet though!😊
Amazon used is such a crap shoot. You can get the most amazing things that are brand new, or get an expensive item that doesn't work. Those were all so lucky! Can't wait to see how those glitter stencils work.
I laugh so hard every time Adam has a good rant, well-justified anger and frustration is always fun. Expressing your rage at products is always cathartic.
I’m super excited to see you use the magic paintbrush I think Steph is going to love designing little ponies (I know I would love that) to be honest I’m happy to watch whatever you guys are going to make!!
ooh i remember seeing the "wonder magic colour light" on my fyp and immediately thought of you guys reviewing it! excited to see whichever one you guys decide to try first >:D
I think you should do the unicorns they kinda fit with the crayola for girls theme that the shoes had. I think the unicorns have a lot of creative design possibilities.
Amazon Warehouse is often just damaged packages, not just returns. They're pretty great if they actually mark down the prices. In the US it's often only marked down a few cents or a dollar or two.
Are you guys doing inktober? Maybe you could do shorts or pick a different prompt list. Idk. I'm always wishing you had more content because I love you guys so much!
Woah I didn't know this existed. This sounds like a great alternative to actual amazon especially since all the items just have damaged boxes and nothing else lol. Hope you guys are doing okay btw ❤❤
Amazon warehouse employee here I believe we also have something called Amazon Warehouse deals or something like that. I could be wrong. Those are items that are damaged in the warehouse that are marked down for lower price. And the only way I know that is because I work in damage land where we separate the bad damages from the good damages and from the inventory items that were wrongly sent to us Damaged land employees are supposed to be the ones to repackage and to make sure it's pretty enough to be received We don't always do that If you've ever received an item that has an LPN at the front of it, those are Second Chances if those items are returned to us again, they're sent to us to be destroyed
Amazon returns is such the wild west, you're either really lucky or you just get trash 😆 The 'used but like new' is particularly subjective lol At least you guys managed to receive what you ordered!
If you disagree with the condition and chat with them they will often offer a bigger discount! They really don't want damaged stuff sent back again haha
people probably return it because of the box. I usually open things to make sure the inside is fine before considering a return because if it's like my area the mailman will literally punch boxes into my mailbox to make them fit LMAO (I have had a hard time pulling some of them out because of it too lol.)
maybe the "like new" items were leftovers from a store (that apparently had rats?) and the "used - acceptable" were ordered and send back by private people, so they put the condition like that just to make sure?
i'm the feral rat child living in the amazon warehouse that keeps chewing up the boxes so they have to sell them for cheaper
Thank you for your service LOL
A noble sacrifice, thanks! 😂
Maybe the feral rat children were the friends we made along the way
pfp checks out
The first one was like , they opened the box, looked at the stuff and just went " nope" and then chewed the box out of sadness.
Oh wait, the second one too!
Yes this seems to be the experience of returning something to Amazon apparently LOL
I think people ordered them as gifts for the most part, but didn’t want to give a damaged box so returned it
This would honestly make a lot of sense considering some didnt even appear to be opened!

MASSIVE BARGAIN ALERT OMG
you guys are so precious. i love how he reacts to you and vice versa. so sweet.
Adamo is such an expressive lad, i love it ❤

😆omg not the feral children ripping the boxes also i wanna see the unicorns!! but i am curious about the glitter stencils
crayola should sponsor you guys i swear its like youre making me wanna go out and buy crayola toys

Thank you so much, our community has been so great with us this past week. We cant thank you all enough ❤
I'm so excited for the unicorn decor potential🎉
Adam said that was his personal fav too 😂
@DoodleDate now im imagining a shelf of shoes and unicorns all professionally designed
Yes!!!! Colour 'n' style those unicorns!🦄
damaged but cheap is such a mood 💀

Oh no,adam's crayola torture continues! 😱
I've been on such a Crayola thrifting high, it's gonna be lasting a HOT MINUTE LOL >u> - Steph
@@DoodleDateo7 to Adam
My favorite Crayola product is their crayons.
I agree the unicorn kit looks the most like the shoe activity so I'd love to see Adam's fantastic design skills again!
NO ADAM I HOPE YOU PROPERLY CLOSED THE YELLOW CRAYOLA MARKER FROM THE BABY SHARK SET OR IT WILL BE DRYYYYYY
LOL dont worry i did go back and make sure they're all capped properly :D
I was FOAMING at the mouth begging for the yellow to be closed properly, lmao :P
@@robotleech same lol

Do the glitter dots first, I saw NerdECrafter use those, they're a lot less messy than they sound!
Yes! I ready for a scathing review on the glitter dots
I'm excited for all of these, I think the unicorn and the color light thing most of all.
Unicorns because it reminds me of the shoes, light thing because I'm so curious how it works.
omg stay with me here but... SHOENICORN???
Hope you guys are doing a little better. Sorry for your loss ❤😢
Thank you so much wolf!
It'll take time but we are getting there ❤

A Romantic Crayola unicorn Collab incoming someday soon then?😁

I played with color wonder so much as a kid!! I loved the “paints” and the markers, they were so much fun ❤️ my childhood!!
I want to see the glitter dots! I did it with my niece once and honestly, they are not as messy as you think!
Im so curious to try them out as well, they seem so odd!!

some times you just gotta chew a box, you know?
I’m happy to watch whatever you do first 😊 Love Adam’s jumper(sweater). ❤
absolutely love the little blue and orange noses 😭😭💗💗
Aww!! Ty! I love that little touch as well ❤
2D Steph and 2D Adam are two of the best additions to your channel :D
I was worried that you might accidentally open the crayolapopcalypse. Fortunately, we remain safe ...for NOW 🖍️🖍️🖍️🖍️
I loved this video! It brightened my day. I would definitely like you guys to try the WORST crayola product next, the dreaded glitter dots!!
The editing on this video was so fun!
The illustrations on the third one are so funny!
Right?! im a huge fan of those LOL
you guys are so funny! i can’t wait to see you try all of these!!
i have never heard of any of these and im so excited to see them in use
Color wonder should be first
Im super curious to see just how that thing works, and it does look like it was never used too O:
oooooh! I wanna see you make the unicorns!
Adamo seems very hyped to try the unicorn set as well HAHA
ooh i remember seeing the "wonder magic colour light" on my fyp and immediately thought of you guys reviewing it! excited to see whichever one you guys decide to try first >:D
Ooo! I always get excited for the crayola videos!
We hope you enjoy this one too!! :D
can't wait for all the crayola content, all of it looks interesting
$68 USD? That's more than double! Magic light brush is like $25 USD. Although, i will say, the package definitely got stuck in a belt at some point.
I think you should do the unicorns they kinda fit with the crayola for girls theme that the shoes had. I think the unicorns have a lot of creative design possibilities.
this is such a good idea for people who reuse crayons or make artwork w them
After the shoe saga we need the Unicorn 🦄
I think Adamo could do a good job at making it look fabulous HAHA
Amazon Warehouse is often just damaged packages, not just returns. They're pretty great if they actually mark down the prices. In the US it's often only marked down a few cents or a dollar or two.
The little rat jumpscare lol. Wasn't expecting that and was already tired when they popped up.😂
Are you guys doing inktober? Maybe you could do shorts or pick a different prompt list. Idk. I'm always wishing you had more content because I love you guys so much!
I really wanna see the magic brush one!!!
Omg I want to see you use all of these 😮 crayolageddon!
The glitter ball set
Most excited for the glitter stencils! So that’s my vote for 1st
We need the unicorns!!! Unicorns in love!!!
Ooooh them's some good bargains!
I LOVE A GOOD BARGAIN ❤
I want to see the glitter dots!
Woah I didn't know this existed. This sounds like a great alternative to actual amazon especially since all the items just have damaged boxes and nothing else lol. Hope you guys are doing okay btw ❤❤
It really is! We've been so impressed with these today, and we're getting there thank you for asking ❤

I think the mess free stuff would’ve been useful when i was younger. Being left handed, I got ink all over my hand.
*"Im sensing an evil aura from this"*
The foreshadowing 😂
Didnt even know this was an option ☺☺☺

Dini are you a UNICORN PERCHANCE?
@@DoodleDate I'll never tell.

Ye they're mostly clean
I have to say, I'm most curious about the Glitter one cause i am the most confused/curious about how that one works
maybe the "like new" items were leftovers from a store (that apparently had rats?) and the "used - acceptable" were ordered and send back by private people, so they put the condition like that just to make sure?
Really on a roll with Crayola lately 😂
We're on the Crayola Bus and outright refuse to get off LMAO
HOLY MOLY
MOLY... HOLEY??!
The unicorns!!!
I think your like new is actually new but with damaged packaging, hence the discount.
The glitter stencils please
I wonder if the warehouse has sealers so they can re- "factory seal" baggies
Anyway, fun video =)
the rats on the screen scared me bc my brightness is low so I thought they were cockroaches. but i had a good laugh 😂😂
Glitter stencils!! Do it!! Lol
PONY DECORATING FIRST PLEASE
Yay crayola
We're so glad youre enjoying them!! ❤
I thought there's Laura Ashley inside.
Do them all...ALL😊
IM gonna start eating my amazon boxes if you guys dont do the first one PLSSSSSSS
Feral children ! Lol 😂
Unicorn
I love the look of this set as well!!
The unicorns look like they could be My Little Pony.
Sorry guys i ate the boxes
Yes! I'm early!!!
It's great to see you jet!! ❤
