I love these type of sets but have never bought any apart from one which was from zavvi.
Was sent in a home made box a box cut up and basically wràpped around it.
Arrived a mess, I had zavvi return it at there cost and had them arrange there courier to pick up from my place.
I requested in the form i wanted a replacement and next one arrived in a slightly better box with thin layer of bubble around it.
But again the outer case was a mess but not as bad as first but bad enough this was the batman set.
I asked them to send another but by this time they had enough, if only back then they took care in packing right.
There was a lot of back and forth and taking it further uk the ranks i was told to just keep it and was refunded.
Ok got the steelbooks inside for free but i really wanted this for the whole package.
I not purchased these types from them since and im curious how they wrap and pack these days, im hearing similar sized editions are now in sturdy boxes?
Was there not hobbit and lord of rings sets how did they send them out?
Im a sucker for mad max and this set would be cool or i might be happy with the single steels.
But this set in particular would be good it's just has zavvi improved in packing these?
I just not grabbed similar editions from other places as seems to be more damaged than non damaged arriving to customers regardless where they are purchased from.
Be nice if these was sent in a foam box.
Well I heard from others in Australia that not this type box sets like dawn of the dead etc was sent in sturdy boxes? I never got mine from zavvi just incase.Forget it. Shipping and packaging never changes. From any retailer. There is no way you are getting an undamaged set all the way to Australia and you know it.
I hesitate whether to buy or not. Yes, it's highly likely to get damaged in shipping. Why is it so hard for retailers to bubble wrap?
Would be so easy in a thick foam box wrapped in a thin cardboard box as foam box would protect it.I hesitate whether to buy or not. Yes, it's highly likely to get damaged in shipping. Why is it so hard for retailers to bubble wrap?
So easy that no retailer that deals in SteelBooks as well as many other products wants to do it.Would be so easy in a thick foam box wrapped in a thin cardboard box as foam box would protect it.
If they trained them how to properly ship items (and if they wanted to save time), they wouldn't need many others that deal with returns, refunds and customer service (and therefore waste all that previously saved time).Who's going to train individuals how to ship each individual item of the thousands that they sell when the warehouse staff probably gets seconds to get an item picked, packed and shipped?
Warehouse workers have quotas they have to meet in items shipped in minimum times.

I doubt retailers have a list of individual boxing and shipping instructions for each of the thousands of individual items that they sell.

You're right, BUT someone like Zavvi, who specializes in media, and steelbooks, ought to have exactly such instructions.So easy that no retailer that deals in SteelBooks as well as many other products wants to do it.

FilmArena's packing is the best I've seen - it's not only thick cardboard box, but super thick styrofoam all around their releases, and in winter they wrap the whole box in duct tape, so it can lay in a puddle, so even if delivery van crashes, everyone dies, packages fly all over and lay in melting snow for days, it will arrive in perfect condition.
