Zavvi offered me a 10% partial refund, how nice of them

I will try and bash the dent out of my copy as best I can lol

Still no sign of mine yet day 2 with RM playing football with my package or the postman probably delivered it to someone else which he is known to do

 

[MrFurious]

mine hasn't bloody arrived yet

 

[EzyRich]

anyone outside UK received it yet? I really hope they're not so mad to ship em overseas inside cardboard envelopes...

Yes, it's a cardboard envelope. To The Netherlands. However, no dents, scratches or paint chips. Looks good next to the Canadian and Japanese versions of this movie. Thanks Zavvi!

Well may be a good sign that they waited to include the proper packaging, the A1 mailer is a complete disgrace. Three days for me have passed now, I got in on this one later on, of course I may have a damaged or banana steelbook as well.

I feel for collectors that got damaged steelbooks, I doubt Zavvi hold stock for such incidents. Zavvi are lucky to still have buyers the way they can be incompetent at times.

 

[psychoscot]

If they held stock to cover this utter incompetence, they would probably have had to print 500 extra copies.

Mine hasn't arrived yet either. So you guys are not the only ones, which hopefully is a good thing.

I thought mine was damaged till I opened it up and saw it was like plastic which I thought was scratches. A nice steelbook overall and unlucky to the people who received damaged copies.

Surprise surprise, arrived earlier today in a cardboard envelope. Thankfully I don't have lino flooring near the letterbox. It looks nice, but not too happy with the blemishes on top corner and a slight paint chip near the spine. Have emailed Zavvi about it. It's been forever since I received a truly mint steelbook from Zavvi.

received three steelbooks from zavvi today which were all despatched on the same day ...

E.T. and The A-Team turned up in the usual white boxes but V for Vendetta arrived in a cardboard mailer

looks to have survived the long trip to Belgium but haven't opened it yet so don't know what's behind the J-card

ordered two copies but no sign of the second copy yet

This is why I was wondering if a major bunch of Vs were shipped from a different warehouse.

Had mine arrive today in zavvi's rubish brown card envelope and it had a few dents around the sides, such a shame

Zavvi have authorised my return no questions (not even a suggestion of a partial refund) and no request for pictures which is a pleasant surprise. Now to convince them that they owe some kind of compensation for the hassle and cost of sourcing a copy elsewhere.

I am sending mine back for a refund and just going to make do with my Canadian 1st Release. I dont wanna pay eBay prices for the steel

Didn't think they would ask for photos, they know they have really screwed up. Be interesting to know if the admin here have heard from Zavvi yet on this colossal disaster.

Zavvi need to seriously make a public apology.

They asked for photos from me

They asked for photos from me

Hope you gave them Hell!

I wish. I now always sent pics with any messages sent to them. Shaves a further two day delay when the get back and ask for them anyway.

The dented one, I got a returns label. Not an apology, but that they would refer my packing concerns to the operations team.

Other copy with scratches - " please can you highlight the damage on the photo sent, I can't make anything out"

Here's a clue, it's a BLACK glossy steelbook. Right, well, look for the GREY lines. Not unless this is a pin stripe ultra ultra ultra limited print run

What a strange company.

My two arrived today in those crappy cardboard envelopes!
Miraculously they were undamaged!

 

[levi]

Can anyone confirm if foam is included in these steelbook packets or if it is just a brown envelope?

they may as well stick the postage stamp directly on the steelbook and send it naked. the cardboard envelope offers little protection. the steel might be protected from scratching, but will be totally vulnerable to denting/bending.

I gave them hell. And more
