Pickup Amazon packaging

Man I must have gotten extremely lucky cause from all the horror stories I’ve heard of Amazon shipping steel books I was getting nervous but it came in perfect! No dents or scratches and the steelbook closes! So happy! It was arriving just as I was getting home from work, had to stop the delivery guy from chunking it over my fence, so he was able to hand it off to me after snapping a picture of it being delivered.

These will be presented as defense exhibit A in the Steelheads vs. Amazon trial in 2029.

Nooooo, I don’t side with Amazon lol I just love the dopamine rush I get from preordering without spending money until it’s ships later 😭

Same but I just got home and he handed it to me instead of throwing in on cement

I got a digibook in the paper bag today. One corner dented and the exchange is already on the way. Not that it'll likely do anything, but I ripped into them while opening the exchange case

My Steels from Amazon have all (knocks on wood) come packaged like that in my area.

Yea I’m hoping my area is also like yours, I’ll see though with these next couple preorders I got coming up.

If I get steel books from Amazon I usually do the gift wrap option for me it’s a extra couple of dollars but haven’t had a problem yet

I do this with action figures too, because it prevents them from just slapping a label on the retail box and shipping it naked and defenseless for any porch pirate or seedy employee to see.

This was not how I got mine. Paper envelop. Luckily, no damage. But that's the first time I haven't had a damaged paper envelop delivery.

Only issue I've had is when ordering more than just the Steelbook. Then they comingle and it bounces around and into other items.

Create a Seperate address listing where it’s just to your initials. Like JD, address, city, state ZIP. even if sent to same address as your other orders, it will remain separate.

This is a great tip.

I receive a box like this for every single order honestly, even single steelbooks. Have received them like this for years.

Never had a problem with Amazon. Don’t pay attention to the vocal turd mjnority.

I'm genuinely considering completely dropping amazon in general because in the past 2 months all orders came in paper envelopes. Not just discs, yesterday I got 6 noctua fans in a big ass envelope.
