With Amazon.jp, you mean? In my experience, it’s difficult to say how anything from Amazon will be packaged; there’s no consistency with them. I’ve received smashed up BD cases from them in the past, packaged in flimsy cardboard envelopes.

With CDJapan, everything comes in a box — even if it’s a single CD — and is lovingly packed with coloured tissue paper. I’ve used their proxy shopping service, too, which is easy and efficient.
