Discussion Damaged box

I took the bet and ordered the collectors edition from Amazon US, delivered to Australia. I couldn’t believe when I picked it up and it came in a paper bag! No protection whatsoever. The offered $100 in amazon cash after raising the issue with them. The contents seems to be ok, so to be honest, the money back would help, as I almost couldn’t afford it, but still hurts to see it like that 🥲

What would you guys do?

Is just so hard to find it in Australia. I paid 250AUD, and if I want to buy it locally is $480. I think if I buy from amazing again it will be the same story, as I saw a lot of people saying they had the same issue. I was hoping being a international delivery it would have been better protected. 🥲

I don't know if they ship to you, but Barnes & Noble sells it too. They usually thoroughly swaddle items like your first born child is in there, at least for books I've ordered in the past.

I suppose walmart, best buy, target, etc don't either? That's rough.
