You may have spotted us recently in the [Lancashire Telegraph](https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/23776970.rawtenstall-webuybricks-celebrate-new-app-filling-pool-lego/), but things have been a bit hectic recently at WeBuyBricks HQ. What started as a normal Thursday turned into a World Record Attempt and a 12-foot swimming pool full of LEGO® bricks! If you missed it you can check out the process on our [TikTok](https://www.tiktok.com/@webuybricks) or [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/webuybricksapp/)!

Have you ever thought about what you would do with 2.5 tonnes of LEGO® bricks? We wanted to do something awesome, and what’s more awesome than ending summer with a plunge into a pool full of our favourite thing? 
We were celebrating the launch of the [WeBuyBricks App](https://www.webuybricks.co.uk/app/), where you can weigh in your LEGO® bricks at home, post it to us for free and receive cash for your unwanted bricks. Not only does reselling your LEGO® bricks help to make you some extra money, but it also breathes new life into your old bricks and saves them from ending up on landfill.

Our local MP, Jake Berry, paid us a visit last week to take the plunge and said, “Up until now, there’s been no opportunity to recycle it, reuse it and re-love your old LEGO® bricks. It’s a first, not only for Rossendale, but for the entire country.” This is the first opportunity our customers have to recycle, reuse and re-love LEGO® bricks, whether you want to declutter and make some money or [add to your collection](https://www.webuybricks.co.uk/buy-lego/), WeBuyBricks gives you the opportunity to save LEGO® bricks from landfill and help to make sure it is enjoyed over and over again, all around the world.

We filled the pool with LEGO® bricks to celebrate the launch of our app and the end of summer. It was great to get all our colleagues involved with such an exciting event and come together to celebrate the success of the company in its first three months.

It’s been a very busy three months since we launched our app, and we cannot wait to see the LEGO® bricks that come through our doors in the future. Thank you for helping us give all those LEGO® bricks a second chance.

How It Works

LEGO® Sets

Our packaging guidelines will help you protect your LEGO® bricks, parts, and pieces during transportation, so your collection reaches us in the same condition you sent it. Take a look at our packaging dos and don'ts below…


- ## Packaging dos
- ✅ *Double-check your LEGO® bricks*
- Before you send us your unwanted bricks, check them over and make sure they meet our condition guidelines. It might be worth re-weighing your LEGO® bricks to make sure you’ve selected the right weight too.
- ✅ *Choose the right box size*
- Choosing the right box size will prevent your LEGO® parts and pieces from being damaged in transit. A box too small for your LEGO® bricks could burst, whereas a box too big could collapse.
- ✅ *Secure your package* 
- Whatever you decide to send us your LEGO® bricks in, make sure it’s sturdy and durable. Because LEGO® bricks are so small, it’s easy for them to get lost in transit if your package isn’t secure. We suggest using a plastic bag inside of a box, making sure any gaps are sealed with tape.
- ✅ *Remove any existing labels*
- Be sure your box is clear of old shipping labels or stickers, as this can cause confusion at the parcel shop. You don’t want your bricks to end up getting delivered back to you!
- ✅ *Attach postage label* 
- Ensure your postage label is stuck on properly and not obscured by any tape. Don’t forget we provide a free postage label once you’ve checked out!
- ✅ *Post within 7 days* 
- Please post your LEGO® bricks, parts, and pieces to us within 7 days of completing your sale.


- ## Packaging don'ts
- ❌ *Don’t pack badly*
- Don't ship your LEGO® bricks in flimsy or damaged boxes as it will likely sustain additional damage during transit. Ensure the box is in good shape and not worn out. Also be sure to seal it properly, making sure any gaps are shut tight.
- ❌ *Label as fragile instead of careful packing*
- Labelling your boxes as ‘fragile’ or ‘handle with care’ doesn’t guarantee they won’t get damaged. These stickers should not be used as a substitute for good packaging.
- ❌ *Don’t allow contents to move*
- Labelling your boxes as ‘fragile’ or ‘handle with care’ doesn’t guarantee they won’t get damaged. These stickers should not be used as a substitute for good packaging.
- ❌ *Resend packaged without removing old labels*
- Never reuse old packaging without removing all previous labels and stickers. 


### What if you can’t print your postal label?


Not to worry! The vast majority of Evri drop-off points have a print-in-store service. Just refine your search to include ‘print-in-store’ options only, and your closest parcel shop will come up - no printer required.
