Both arrived today in cheap brown mailers, both mailers bashed and dented and so is one of the steels badly.

Zavvi are going to love me! I am F**K*NG FUMING

Most companies you'd expect would learn from the last 3 times they've run out of steelbook boxes and not allow it to happen again.

But if it does happen, then just delay the release by a week or two. This wasn't supposed to be out originally until the 9th anyway. Common sense goes a long way in business, Zavvi need to employ some people with it.

 

[psychoscot]

Sending a release like this in that package is beyond unacceptable! Zavvi need to answer for this.

Feel sorry for anyone far away that ordered this!

Its frustrating, as it was avoidable, had the company had an ounce of common sense when packaging the "ultra print run" title.

I fear for the overseas Ninja's. If in only 2-3 days UK post, ours are being smashed up this this, I dare to think what ones sent across the pond are going to look like.

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

No foam, no protection at all.

Got mine today no damage, only god forgives come as well with a massive tear In the plastic luckily I open them and there was no damage. Zavvi need to sort it out.

Mine also arrived this morning in the ****** brown cardboard envelope with NO protection whatsoever, it looks ok through the cellophane but I have no idea what's lurking behind the J card, I daren't open it!!

 

[ben6212]

Opened mine no dents thankfully but quite a few paint chips and scratches

This is exactly why zavvi gets the criticism and deserves it. are they thinking sending out a soldout limited highly sought after steel in a damn envelope? Delay the damn thing till you get packaging that steelbooks need!!!

I can see a lot of cancellations all across the board because of this behavior. Zavvi is gonna lose even more collectors now IMO.

'Home of Steeblooks'!

You would think home of better packaging. Can't be as bad as the Rush steel that I received from HMV Ireland today though... It's a miracle It's arrived in the condition it did!!

 

[Tacozilla]

all i can say is

cardboard envelope...nice dent on the front...

 

[ZubS]

Still no sign of mine, which means another day for a kick about with my steel in the hands of RM

 

[blu-steel]

Mint ones are going to be less than 1000 in circulation.

I hope I can obtain a mint one. Its a long way across the pond.

Likewise!

Why the inconsistency I received my last two in the normal white boxes & one in the card envelope. Do they all come from the same warehouse or is it depending on who packs them?

 

[Kizza]

Alls i can say is good luck to all you guys across the pond

I kinda feel bad that mine arrived ok in the mailer when i have been reading all the comments about dented ones.

I hope this is just a blip and Zavvi sort it ASAP.

 

[Blu-devil]

Then why do you continue to be a patron of Zavvi?

Don't you be starting again.

 

[Kobi]

Oh, people got these in the envelopes?? i ordered 3 and all mine came in the usual white box. all seem pretty immaculate
