Gift packaging only seems to get you a box if ordering from the US. Whenever I use gift packaging from Amazon UK, they generally ship items in a flimsy cardboard envelope. That's why I no longer order from Amazon in Europe.Wife said it didn't when she ordered it. It's currently saying Tuesday for delivery, but from last night it went from new jersey to clearing uk customs, so who knows. I'll post when it arrives. I really hope it doesn't come ******.
Last time I got something from Italy, I had gift wrapping, but it was just in a flat wrap around with the gift bag stuffed in.
Used to be when I worked there, gift wrapped stuff came in actual boxes. But what can you do eh?
It's arriving today. Been to at least 10 different sorting places, half of those before even leaving US and finally to Royal Mail. If this isn't in a box, there is no ******* way it's coming undamaged. Wish me luck.
That's actually a win @JinxyKatte@TheWildEye View attachment 589136
I
View attachment 589137I've mostly managed to push out this, but considering just how little padding the package had, I'm shocked this is the only damage. ******* amazon though.
I haven't opened it. It's technically a Christmas present from my wife, but I had to check for damage obviously. I don't see the steelbook getting damage without damage to the slip. Yeah I'd call it a win.That's actually a win @JinxyKatte
At least look at it that way. Over time you'll be able to soften that out completely I think.
If that was a single steelbook with no slip. It'd be wrecked!
Did the steel come through unscathed inside?
Always worth a pop. Complain to customer service. You never know. Discount voucher or a partial refund. Just don't send it back.
so as expected just a paper thin bag, Amazon are really terrible and don't deserve anything exclusive.I haven't opened it.

Yeah I know. I'd happily pay more for an option to guarantee a box. I only order steels from Amazon if I literally have no other choice.so as expected just a paper thin bag, Amazon are really terrible and don't deserve anything exclusive.
I tried the same thing when my Thor Mondo kept getting damaged from amazon Germany.I once went on Amazon chat and said is there any way you can get them to put the steelbook I've ordered in a box to prevent damage. They said they can do that and a note had been left on the order. It came as normal in a thin card envelope with more dents than John Wick's car door.
I never liked that steelbook, he looks like he has sunburn. I'm not a big fan of the Mondo steelbooks, but the Captain America First Avenger was a nice one.I tried the same thing when my Thor Mondo kept getting damaged from amazon Germany.
Your best bet @JinxyKatteSo I just opened mine cos I wanted to inspect the slip for more damage and the corners were slightly dinged up. Even then I would have been ok with that. But I checked the steelbook and it has a ******* massive scratch on it. It can't possibly have happened in shipping, so it must be factory defect or happened during assembly.
Worse still, amazon basically said get ******. Send it back for a refund but said they can't offer a replacement... ffs.
Given it's sought after you're better off selling it, even with the damage you should at least get your money back and you'll help out someone else trying to source one.So I just opened mine cos I wanted to inspect the slip for more damage and the corners were slightly dinged up.

Yeah I might do that. thanks. Honestly one of the worst scratches I have ever seen on a new steelbook that was in a fullslip.Your best bet @JinxyKatte
Get a refund and buy one already in the country from eBay.
There's one here at retail £49.99. Though it's an auction.

It's still available directly from Amazon. I'm guessing if someone is selling on Amazon, they must not be happy with the condition.Given it's sought after you're better off selling it, even with the damage you should at least get your money back and you'll help out someone else trying to source one.
Better that than it vanishing up Amazon's rear end.
