Glad their editions include o-ring slips now, because the spine on my box slip is waaaaay off-centre... it's almost wrapping around on to the front

Send it back mate, there's loads still available for replacements. Plenty of time. Obviously a fault somewhere as I've seen It mentioned elsewhere online too.
It must be a limited percentage though, mine is in the centre. Picked up from HMV.

Not sure I cba with the hassle tbh mate, especially since getting to the post office is a pita for me... I need a lift, so have to ask around to see if anyone's available, and I hate asking for favours as it is. Collecting steels for 20+ years has made me more accepting of imperfections anyway, so I can live with an unaligned spine on a box I'll very rarely see lol. Glad yours is ok though, of course!
