My friend who ordered these was lucky enough to get both his copies in mint condition (no damage) despite them being sent in envelopes instead of white boxes. :eek:

 

[Menouthis]

Of course I got it dented. What can I do now? Should I send it back?

I spent almost two weeks arguing about my damaged one. Best they could offer was 20% refund. It is their shocking packaging. There literally must have been at least 30% of these damaged.

Moved a few posts to the Zavvi retailer thread here. You can discuss issues with Zavvi's packaging there, can we keep this thread on topic. Thanks guys.

they offered 15% to me but got a full refund check the zavvi thread from Sigills post above to see their exact message to me.

Can confirm 1/3 I ordered was damaged, haven't opened the other 2.

Well

Mine hasn't arrived dented, BECAUSE IT HASN'T ARRIVED AT ALL YET....

I also ordered 3 copies. I've only opened one so far, but besides some small tears around the bottom corners, they APPEAR to be mint. The one I've opened is good to go.

Mine all have tears on the bottom left corner because the packaging is so tight.

i've noticed people aren't exactly putting in high bids for these on ebay. wonder if its because of the reputation this one has for turning out to be damaged?

2 of these went for £16.00 & £16.50 respectively yesterday so I think you're right.

currently 8 available from zavvi outlet on amazon for anyone that missed out, don't know if these would be damaged or returned stock, hope not as they are slightly dearer than at first release (about £18)

this is why they are going for near the same cost on ebay-smart Zavvi as the steels are shipping from Guernsey so they can avoid tax and the sales act in the uk-despite this ordered another copy & received (on inspection) dent/spine slash/ding free

I still have not got the refund for my damaged one after like three weeks

Mine finally processed yesterday, after having had their auto-confirmation that they'd received the return early last week. Oh well, it's done, that's what counts. I guess.

I ordered a copy the other day (£17.55 inc P&P from them on Amazon via Zavvi Outlet) to replace my dented one, it arrived brand new, sealed & minty-mint.

Not to say that all will be like that, it could be complete luck of the draw for all I know, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Good you got yourself a mint copy, I see Zavvi still do not care about replacements, can't see that changing, I've started to minimise any purchases from Zavvi.

Did Zavvi send the steelbook in the same garbage packaging, on their other method of selling?

Yep, in an Amazon A1 style mailer with the thinnest piece of foam you've ever seen.

I got a "Review your recent purchase" about this today:

If you managed to get one of these undamaged, it is a beautiful steelbook, both inside and out with an amazing finish.

However, if you're like the majority of people who received theirs in a ****** cardboard envelope that couldn't protect anything, then you have to live with Zavvi "testing" out your money to give you damaged goods.

This was a very limited print run, and because of that it's even more extremely limited to see one that is a damage free.

I hope Zavvi learns from this mistake to properly package the goods that it's paying customers are spending their hard earned money on.
