Ordered from HMV, my copy arrived in one of those dreaded grey jiffy bags. It still came in OK condition, just dented corners, which doesn't annoy me too much. But yeah, I guess there's no uniform packaging standard for these companies. It would be nice if beforehand you could pick exactly what kind of packaging you want your items to be mailed in. This is the next step in customer service, I think.
Very strangle, all collector's edition game that are bigger than a DVD case are shipped in the box to me from HMV, It's must be down to the individual packer at the warehouse.

Eh, lesson learned.

HMV

I'll probably try another company next time.

Sounds like there is no set standard for HMV then. My slayer edition came in a box, with the game itself in a bag attached to the inside of the box (assume to prevent moving around).

Did you use standard airmail or the more expensive courier option?

hmm.. it sounds like my copy could've been sent in a box, but Customs may have chucked it.

The cheapest, standard airmail. Guess it might be luck of the drawl?

Lol...I order the Tactics Ogre Premium Edition from Zavvi. This time package is smaller than last time. There were minor dent but nothing significant. It is very weird how they would use different packaging.

Just got my Tactics Ogre premium edition from Zavvi - Bubble-wrap envelope, no damage to the box. I am pleased.

I'm so pissed Amazon UK doesn't ship out videogames overseas.

That would probably remedy any packaging woes for me.

Oh for crying out load, - How it got all the way to you in good condition is beyond me, I live 50 miles from the depot and it gets destroyed.
