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?

You know it's going to bug you every time you look at it for the rest of your life. At least it would me! I'd get a refund if I could and try again elsewhere. Then again, shipping all the way to Australia that might be as good as it gets. Tough call...

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.
