of course packaging is better than zavvi for example, but that's no surprise and a must, considering you can buy an exclusive steelbook from zavvi for less than $10 with free shipping, but no blufans steelbook for less than $60.
yes, blufans releases are mostly top quality, but the packaging doesn't live up to their "premium" standards so well, when compared to other "premium" retailers.

" i've had two damaged steelbooks from them so far, both resulted from too small boxes and insufficient packaging.
you will get the steelbook in 1-2 layers of bubble wrap, and then crammed into a carton box which looks usually a bit too small for what's in there.
far away from ideal if you ask me. it does the job in many cases, but it's just not "incredible shipping quality".
if you want to see what incredible shipping quality looks like, then you have to order from korean companies like kimchidvd, novamedia, plain archive.

I thought I was a hardcore steelbook collector once...until I started seeing these international steelbook threads I was aware that Kimchidvd was a Korean company for steelbooks, but had no idea that they had more such as Novamedia and Plain Archive. Are there additional threads where we can learn more about these international steelbooks?

I thought most of these steelbooks are extremely limited, usually selling out of pre-orders within 1-2 days of availability. Do you just contact BluFans for a replacement by sending in the damaged copy back?

in case you receive a damaged steelbook/packaging you sent a pm to Kevin and i'm sure he will help you out

only had one issue with a blufans release in the past and getting a replacement went really smooth

keep note that there are always a bunch of copies kept aside in case something goes wrong

hope that helps

Not sure who Kevin is, but I guess he is the one in charge for group buys? Hope he isn't taking a loss for having to send replacements.

They keep extras just incase there's damaged ones.

Kevin is bluraysteel. He starts all the Blufans threads, posts the latest info, and hosts all the Blufans group buys.

Yeah, I use my wallet to house my IDs, plastic CC and Debit Cards. No cash at all. The most money I have in my wallet is $5. I use them to buy some snacks at the vendo machine.

I actually turn a deaf ear to my bank account and CC screaming. I ignore them...

Now, I need another part-time job to bring in some funds for more steelbooks.
