Yes, I received MISERY yesterday in the not very thick brown wraparound cardboard and it was Royal Mail Tracked 48 - a first for me from Zavvi.
Ordered on the 14/2
Dispatched on the 21/2
Received on the 24/2
Regarding the steelbook itself: nothing to write home about and very average - pretty dark and dull apart from the small top silver section.
No spot-gloss/shiny metallic paint in evidence to breath some life onto the typewriter keys where it should have been and which I find just a bit disappointing.
Liking the title treatment on the spine as it's certainly most appropriate for this film and different to the usual boring title treatments but not wild about the over-printing on the back of my j-card.

Summary: Interesting design but opportunity missed regarding execution and I accept that embossing/de-bossing was not an option - still happy to add this steelbook to the collection at the price paid for this bare-bones movie re-release.
6/10
