Weirdly anything I've imported from Amazon US has generally been fine for me. I actually had two things arrive in the last week from them after having not ordered for over a year (a vinyl and a pet hair trimmer) and both were perfect, and I ordered a steelbook last time out and that was good too. Maybe it's more to do with issues with US and UK post I wonder, we have specific Amazon delivery services here (Ireland) that don't involve the post office generally or anything like Hermes or Evri so maybe that cuts out a big part of the issues.

It's specifically movie physical media I am referring to. Try ordering one of those Columbia sets or a Scream steelbook... I also think the longer things have been released for might play a part. They definitely have issues storing things as I'm quietly confident the items I have bought from them had been bashed around so much they had to have new plastic over them... honestly it would haunt you the things I could show you from them as a collector. Perhaps the newer releases you're just at the mercy of the postal system initially but anything that's been out a while it's a lottery win if you get it mint.

Yeah could play a big part if Ireland too because of your Amazon distribution centre. I know you tend to get UK pre orders a little earlier right? Or so I've heard..

Added few pics below. As a collector they come with a warning of graphic content.

Spoiler: Columbia volume 4

Scratches all over the back. Bare in mind it came with a thick card j-card covering it and sealed in plastic. Bashed up corners too albeit not as bad as

Spoiler: Columbia volume 5

Like these are thick solid sets so the force you'd need to create that. Like I said they dgaf and if things are constantly on sale I'd wager this is why. Beaten up stock.

I don't mind it.
Something different. If the slip and steel are given some decent treatments on their finishes, it'll look pretty sweet.

I really like it. I was just taking the p!ss out of my word play

Yep, 54 quid is a juicer. I've got some faith it'll drop over here or EU. Got to be worth it for the money to release a collectors edition across regions.
I'm not risking an import.

Ditto, think it was the 1408 Steelbook that shipped in what was effectively an envelope and it arrived unscathed.

I already feel sorry for the state some of these will arrive in from Amazon US. They dgaf

But also pretty confident Amazon are going to want to make the most of this and like all their shows it'll be available from Amazon UK, Italy etc. etc.

Order with other titles to force them to use a large box. I just received steelbooks of The Fog and The Blob in perfect condition USA to UK because I ordered 10 other titles with them. If not you can order with a pack 16 toilet rolls

I love it when you recommend the toilet rolls method @Stu123

It's a winner. It Definitely works. Tried and tested. Only problem is, finding enough to buy to make it worth it.
