United Kingdom Recent Blu-ray Steelbook Purchases from Amazon UK?

Just wondering if anyone has purchased any Blu-ray Steelbooks from Amazon UK recently?

The reason why I ask, is because I want to know how they've been sent out, in terms of packaging.

It's been a good while since I last ordered a Blu-ray Steelbook from Amazon UK, and I have one lined up, but wanted to get people's feedback on Amazon UK's recent packaging for Steelbooks before I commit to purchase.

Thanks

They use a special container for Steelbooks. It holds the case away from the edges of the box to avoid damage. I've had 3 delivered and they've all been perfect apart from work from The Spine-Slasher™.

Thanks Chip

If I remember rightly, my last Steelbook purchase sometime last year arrived in packaging like that.

Just wanted to know from people incase Amazon had changed in terms of how they send them out.

Yes...I've heard tales of this Spine Slasher

Here's a picture in case they've updated what they use.

That's fantastic Chip

Well, if they still send them out like that, I don't think I'll have any worries...looks as safe as houses

My Double Indemnity steelbook from Amazon arrived in the packaging pictured above a couple of days ago so looks like they're still going with that.

I'am considering purchasing more than one Steelbook, so the latter of your reply fills me with confidence

Last steelbook I bought came wrapped in anti radiation/virus material secured inside a perspex reusable box, apparently this is the packaging of the future.

Theyve been in this bomb-proof packaging since way before Xmas last year. Only problem is for those people who have to have stuff through the letter box - youd need a catflap to get these through a door!
