It does indeed say that. To be exact, it says 'Repacked by Yodel'.

If people are sealed collectors then they should really be worried about the conditions inside the box because as seen on quite a few occasions, including yours, the cardboard containers just rip under the weight of the artbook.

That's bad packing on theirs and Zavvi's side then, if they can't even design the packaging of their own products correctly so that it can safely contain and protect the items inside then there's no hope lol

Is Yodel Zavvi's own courier or something, I've never heard of it before other than seen it mentioned on here when people started receiving their boxes

Just got mine, the packaging wasn't too bad, a few minor dents on the actual box and the parts holding the artbook were a bit ripped, also nothing was sealed, so I didn't have the option to not unseal it.

I got a steelbook, and I was not one of the original 4000, also I didn't get MGS4.
















Overall, I'm pretty happy with it!

If it wasn't sealed then you've got somebody's returned copy. I wouldn't be happy about it, but if you are that's all that matters

Yodel is a courier service like any other, just a really bad one.

I did a quick Google search to get their website up when a lone star caught my eye slightly down the page.

Check that out! According to user reviews, Yodel are the worst courier service.

Zavvi must have chosen them because of how cheap they must be to deliver the packages.

There's another point against Zavvi's name.
