@Alf_1 I've missed your long posts
Did they send it in a white box or was it a sh1te A1 mailer?
It's a pain but would recommend purchasing a new one whilst you organise a return with refund. Prevents item going OOS whilst getting replacement.

You could pay for the signed and tracked shipping of you want but I don't want them to start to make you pay for shipping. I will stick with the free shipping and roll the dice.
Mine arrived today and I am super disappointed! The QC was amazing which would have been a Minty Fresh Steelbook that to me looks amazing, but unfortunately the Zavvi Packing with that next to nothing protection mailer box was crushed enough to where it smushed and bent in the back of the steelbook damaging it.
To Zavvi, your packaging is whack and its time to understand to get with the times and learn how to pack where the steel can never get damaged. I know its possible because I sold many things in my life and everytime I sold something I recieved compliments how well packed it was. I am 100% everytime! So, I know Zavvi can use a better box that needs at least 2 inches of space between the item and shipper box with bubble wrap surrounding it.
Bubble Protection needs to surround the item and then spaced hovering in the center while the shipper box is is spaced sufficiently away from the item.
I honestly sould go to business’s and teach them how to pack cost efficiently. Not one item will ever get damaged during transit if they follow my methods! Thats how confident I am in my packing and passionate packing skills since I always care it gets to someone safely.
In the past I sold off some of my collection due to financial reasons and space, so I know very well about how to pack well with care. The box Zavvi sends it in can only protect so much, but if the corners get crushed in just a little it will push towards the inner rectangle part of the box pushing that in as well. Since there is no bubble wrap or any protection keeping the steel away from being pressed up against the inner sheilded box that will not be enough to protect it and the case in my situation.
The corner of the extended outter box was crushed just enough to crush the inner shield box damaging the steel since the spacing of the box walls are too close to the item and wrong!
I would imagine companies lose more on damaged items versus investing in better packing methods! The reason why I hate ordering things to be delivered.. Just my luck. If I get perfect, flawless QC of course it arrives damaged from delivery and when I have poor QC then the delivery arrives perfect. (SMH)
All shipping companies you are whack and I hope Karma breaks all the CEO of the major shipping companies presents during their transit and that you get coal in your stockings.
And if any of those CEO’s have a Cat I will be making a Cat Burger out of them even though I promised when moving to Earth that I would not eat anymore cats. This time I will make an exception .
yep, Zavvi are doing us the best they can for free shipping.Quite simply put, if you want a bigger box it would just cost more money for the company to send. I’ve never received any external damaged packages from Zavvi. A larger letter mailer box is sufficient to send standard steelbooks in. Not saying you aren’t going to get damaged ones from time to time, but it’s the cost involved for Zavvi for the hundreds of steelbooks they send to factor in.

They should offer a larger box and I would pay it.. I already paid for shipping and shipping cost is never a factor for me... I care more about well packed shipping versus saving a few bucks for the cheapeast shipping is being cheap and I rather pay more for better protection.
Also, the amount that I did pay for shipping could afford to use a bigger box.. Boxes and bubble wrap are super cheap when you are buying huge bulk of it! Big business’s also get discounts from shippers to ship and they charged me enough for shipping to use better protection.
I paid high shipping and they can easily use a better box so not even one gets damaged. I have proof of better shipping methods and the crappy box they send it in is not good enough!
They didnt offer me free shipping to the states and I still paid for shipping so it should have been packed better! I paid shipping! Its not free everywhere!
is it your first time buying from zavvi? if that; you are in a ride because you will be disappointed all the time, you dont know what is their bad package yet(looking at you card envelopes).........Mine arrived today and I am super disappointed!
