Luckily there were only a few micro scratches on the back.

Scanavo charges 10 cents extra per steel for shrink wrap so most retailers dont get it to save money (especially Gamestop because they are trying to cut corners wherever they can)

One of the reasons I ordered from FNAC and all of them came wrapped without a single scratch as far as I can see.

You mean your international shipping from France already arrived? That's insanely fast. I should've ordered from there... Mine from GameStop came with lots of scratches and one huge dent...

Sorry to hear that :/

Yeah. They shipped on Tuesday with DHL to make sure I have it on release date. Came to about 110$ for 3 steelbooks with shipping. Definitely recommend them in the future

You would think shipping small items in bubble wrapped envelopes would be much cheaper than shipping them in unnecessarily big boxes like this but I guess not.

I agree but I don't know the details of their logistics agreements. I would assume the don't work on exact size/weight basis with fedex. At the end of the day throwing things in a giant box quickly is probably cheaper than taking the time package everything carefully. Amazon does the same...
