I received a package from ama.fr yesterday and 3 of 4 Steelbooks were packed in bubble wrap inside the cardboard mailer inside a big box! the one was just in paper in the cardboard mailer inside the big box and the fifth was just put on top of the 4 Steelbook cardborad mailers without extra protection... but all arrived mint

The same thing happened to me before. I bought the French Underworld Blu Ray trilogy (which was wrapped tighter than a camel's ass in a sandstrorm!) and Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes Steelbook which was thrown loose on top wrapped in a bit of brown paper. By the grace of god they all arrived fine. Even though a corner of the outer box had been completely crushed in. It's a lottery with Amazon, it really is.

Yes it was the same when I ordered it. Everyone here was saying to bite the bullet and order it anyway. So I did, and received my Steelbook

when you type the word "steelbook" in their search engine you will get the thing listing as ninth result so normally you should get a steelbook when you buy this

The French usually call Steelbooks 'Metal Boiter' or something like that.
(Pardon my French!!)

"boitier metal" in French.
But if you search with Steelbook it works also on amazon.fr

Very lucky! how come this happened?

there was a security breach with my bank. they wouldnt release thr funds, so they told me to order again and it will be fine.

so i ordered it again. ended up receiving 2 steelbooks. 1 day after the other. since i last commented though, i have now been charged twice lol.

lol, thanks for sharing this conclusion. So finally not so lucky as you paid for both but anyway you will easily trade it i guess.

I have to admit. The stickers actually look pretty cool on this one. Might be a good idea for most folks to buy two and open one and keep the other sealed. All IMO of course.

lol that's crazy chip, never been a fan of stickers so I always remove mine but I try to keep them sealed, that way when I display them I get to see the front-covers not the annoying advertisement, but that'd just me

Took the gamble, although I have the German one pre-ordered. This one just looks way better.

This is my first time ordering from Amazon.fr. How is the packaging? Is it anywhere near to Amazon.de?
