And that's the result of jiffy bagging steelbooks.

Huge spine slash aswell......

They need to hold on to any remaining stock for replacements. This is getting silly now.

the postman has to bent it first

I am concerned the longer they have it the greater chance of that happening, well that and it not arriving at all

Is the jiffy bag-situation limited to the UK or international?
(I guess no one outside the UK has received a copy yet..)

Same. Oh well, Monday it is.

I cancelled 1 to 3 as had an ongoing saga about 4 to 6 where each of them had problems. Lost confidence folks and my money is hard earned for this.

----------------------------------------------
please zavvi dont use jiffy bags anymore

 

[Hereticz]

Yep, it´s international, today I got 2001: A Space Odyssey in two jiffy bags, damaged corner, shoot message to Zavvi immediatelly, w@nkers!

 

[Steely-Booked]

I’m in the states, and they’ve always been shipped in a box. Only issue I’ve had is the scuff on Empire and RoTJ has spine slash (so it’s going back...cuz 20% off isn’t even enough for me to sell it on ebay and get my money back.

Zavvi has been shipping TOC titles in jiffy bags from the start. They started using 2 jiffy bags with Mad Max.

 

[Scrubbedup]

Same. Oh well, Monday it is.

no sign of mine either. hopefully Monday

Double Jiffy bag for me too, luckily no dents! However lots of thin scratches underneath the paint on the rear of the steel. Nightmare to photograph as it’s black and the finish just reflects everything but they are there. Shoddy from Zavvi again which is a real shame as these steelbooks could’ve and should've been a knockout for them.

The problem isn't Zavvi. The problem is with Scanavo. Something is wrong with the manufacturing of the steelbooks.
They obviously have a problem there. Until they recognize and fix the problem with their equipment they will continue to turn out steelbooks with these "scratch" marks.

While that may be the case, spine cuts and jiffy bags are Zavvi's doing.

I received 1 out of the 2 of mine today mate. Strange you didn’t get yours must go to the same Chelmsford depot then on to your local depot. Should turn up Monday for you

We didn’t buy them from Scanavo. Zavvi is responsible to us... I don’t care if they have to have a talk with Scanavo, that’s none of my business. They should do whatever they feel is right for them.
Stop defending Zavvi, they’re shipping out damaged product in many cases and doing so in packaging that will almost guarantee they are further damaged in transit to us.
They should do better, much better.

Stop that nonsense. I was replying to the comment about "scratches" under the gloss on the back of the steelbook. Zavvi never gets to see the back of the steelbook. If you want to blame Zavvi for that, then that's your choice but I'm not and I can defend who I want.

I wasn't referring to the jiffy bags or dents or spine slashes and I didn't mention them.

I expect anybody who isn't happy with the condition of a steelbook or any product to return it and be done with it.
