Does anyone know how is Zavvi’s packaging when it comes to box sets? Jiffy bags?
They will ship in a jiffy bag or in a box

This release from arrow is a rigid hard cardboard slipbox (same type packaging as Black Cats/American Horror Project/Videodrome Box sets) so it's less likely to get damaged
It's when a release is soft cardboard packaging that will more likely arrive damaged when sent in a jiffy bag
