This product came shipped in a large box which I appreciated to keep the costume protected. The sword and shield were not bent on arrival as some other reviewers stated. I rated the shipping 5 stars as well. Came in a high quality plastic liner with a hanger. I kept the plastic liner and hanger to hang it up in the closet with the accessories. The hat/hood part was a little small, but it still could fit him just had to leave it unhooked.
