They pack it like that because they're morons!! >.< We get the same treatment sometimes in the UK. Their customer services have had a right moaning at from me about it before. I've told them that it is inadequate packaging for limited edition games, but they still do it. International customers get it worse as GAME always skimps in packaging for international customers to keep the shipping cost down. I personally advise anybody who wants to order internationally from GAME to ask a UK member to forward for you instead and save yourself the headache.
While we're on the subject of shitty pack jobs, I wasn't best pleased with how treehouse stores packaged my Dragon Age art book, so they have an email incoming too...  |
Had I known they would do such a shit job packaging up the item for overseas shipment, I would've done your suggestion. I am hoping they will just send me a new one without me having to bother sending this back. Does that happen with GAME?
As for Treehouse Stores, their packing is usually pretty good, but when it fails, it fails hard and the item is usually really damaged. However, I've found them to always be excellent in replacing the damaged item for free (and letting you keep the damaged item, too!).
I still haven't found better packaging for shipment than when I received my Legend of Zelda collector's edition guide box set. That was some sturdy cardboard and padding they used!
