Sainsbury Steelbook Packaging - Blu-ray Forum

Scholer · 07-30-2012, 05:35 PM

Did anybody here order steelbooks from Sainsburry before?

Hows their packaging?

Did anybody get any damaged or dented one?

I ordered the Total Recall Steel from them. Am a bit anxious whether if they ship if safely or not. Would love some swift responses,

Terrible, cardboard envelope for all orders whether fragile or not.

I ordered the Hurt Locker steelbook from them and it looked like it had taken a detour via Iraq and a tank had gone over it.

Cancel it and get it from Amazon. No price difference.

Why have you ordered from Sainsburys. Is same price at Amazon who use their custom cardboard box Steelbook packaging.

I've only got a single steelbook on order with them but it's part of the Snow White LE, so not gonna be buy itself but i'd like it to arrive intact hopefully. Rest are amarays so no worries there i guess

I have The Evil Dead on pre-order,might just cancel and go with play,their packaging is great.
EDIT:I just did that,I think the one pound extra is money well spent,better being safe than sorry.

I always remember when i pre-ordered the Superman Anthology because it was cheaper than anyone else, when i received it on the Thursday of release week it had been crammed into a padded envelope 2 sizes too small! Needless to say the slipbox was mashed-up, it took me ages to get a refund too, had to chase them up twice.

Of course there is a chance,keep your fingers crossed and report back,it'll be interesting to hear if their packaging has changed any.
I hope it arrives in good nick for you.
