The set will ship in a separate, outer cardboard box with packaging material to protect the set. Check out my feedback and see what others have said about my packaging. That being said, I can't guarantee what will happen during transit, but most of my orders arrive as pictured.
Please allow up to 3 business days to ship, but I usually ship in 1. Let me know if you have any questions.
I appreciate feedback! Also, check out my other Lego listings.
