Amazon and slipcase - Blu-ray Forum

Brucaliffo · 03-13-2017, 08:34 AM

Hello,
I need to buy some slipcase editions in blu-ray from Amazon.de
Does anyone know about the service?
I don't like to have damaged angles and so no...
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I can only speak from my experience, but I ordered plenty of stuff from amazon.de and never had any problems.

Only issue I ever had was odering a Steelbook from Italy via amazon.it - it had some dents. I don't know if there are regional differences or if this was just an exception. But packaging for Steelbooks on amazon.de is better.

As I said, so far no issues with them.

Thank you for the opinion.
Yes, I refer about dents and worn out slipcase.
I refer to slipcase, steelbook are metal so more solid.

A few comments. Unless you are buying on day 1 of release you are NOT guaranteed a slip case assuming the BD comes with one.

The availability of slip cases varies by studio, as some produce loads so you will get one years later. Others produce very few so buying from Amazon only 1 month after release date won't get you one.

Unlike buying in a store you don't know if you will get a slip case from Amazon or not.

Thank you very much, I have't thought about this fact.
There is one blu-ray that is now out of stock and a new batch is expected for the end of March, maybe without slipcase, who knows...
