Hello. I have not used this option yet. How are the cards packaged? I assume they are all in one box, but are the individual shipments just placed in one big box, or are they all opened first? Are they packaged safely? Does it come with one invoice that has the overall total value of the shipment, or is the invoice itemized by seller?

They are packaged together in one flat rate box. The individual shipments are not opened, just put in the flat rate box in the envelope of bubble mailer they were sent in. It comes with one invoice that lists all of the orders on them, but not itemized by the actual cards. Most of the sellers will have a list of all the cards from the specific order.
I have had probably 20 to 30 box shipments and never had an issue with any of them packaging wise. It has been something that works well for me with sellers that have low box shipment rates for accumulating the commons that I need to fill a set.

I can vouch for the service being good and as described, except in my case it's always been sent via UPS, which in what I've been able to confirm is slightly more expensive than a flat rate box.

I am from Canada. For customs purposes, does it clearly show the total value of all cards together?

Yes the invoice will show their individual prices along with the shipping cost.

Now that you mention that, it has been shipped by UPS sometimes for me as well. I think it depends on the weight on whether it is sent USPS flat rate box or by UPS.

This is the bottom of what was sent to me. It was inside the box, so I don't know how that affects customs.
