Heavy gauge cardboard. Extremely solid feeling. Actual tape on the package.

Beats the plastic and cardboard mailers I got my two copies of Capt. America in.

The Ping headcover and the knife were within arms reach. Probably could have grabbed less obscure items to hide my address. Haha.

Minority Report came in the mailbox today. Cheap cardboard mailer.

Spine slash.

I've stopped caring. Is it worth emailing Best Buy to get a mint copy?

Someone had to say it. I was just waiting to see who and when.

It is good to see better packaged items from Best Buy though. They've always shipped my stuff in pad-less envelope bags.

i give up on bestbuy packaging, i ordered 3 blu-rays and they still stuck them in the cardboard mailer

i guess you have to order 5 items now to the point where its literally impossible for them to use that stupid mailer, but whats worse is when they ship a steelbook in that stupid plastic bag that offers literally zero protection

It's just luck of the draw, they haven't changed anything unfortunately.

Back when I received my Noah steelbooks, they each came in the corrugated cardboard mailer, and then a week or two later I received Divergent in a white plastic baggy. This time with Cap, again, plastic baggy.

They all came out of the same distribution center in Tennessee too.

Oh, and I love your leather dong cover, very impressive.

My Captain America Winter Soldier arrived in the gray baggy envelope. It's totally hit an miss with them. I get the odd one in that sticky cardboard mailer thing that clings around the movie but most are in gray baggies.

Or you could have flipped the box over? But it is good for scale to see the size if the box. On the Cdn deals thread thecardman23 posted pics of his 2 ghostbusters steels in a microwave sized box, using a couch as scale. I think he should have put a microwave inside lol.
