I received an Amazon package yesterday, 1 UHD Blu-ray box set, 2 Blu-ray box sets, 1 PS4 game, and 1 standard sized UHD Blu-ray... all dumped into a huge envelope and shipped USPS.
It did not end well.
There's a number of things I won't get on Amazon. They are programmed to package fast, not properly.

Exact opposite for me. I'm glad you had a better experience though.
Yeah I've gotten weary of USPS now.

Yeah, it's confirmed to be the case from what I've seen of non-LE unboxing videos (shoutouts Nick Robinson)

...but if you want to be a good business you have to do both.
Turns out my order has to have been placed and received in the past 60 days to leave feedback on packaging, so it doesn't even qualify.
Wow, 30 tracks for the soundtrack. I was expecting some sample soundtrack with around 10 tracks. Was kinda on the edge on whether to keep my preorder, but I that pushes me to keep mine.

My Amazon order isn't even preparing for shipment so I dunno. It's going to Seattle so it could just get next day'd hopefully
I wish they knew that :/ They too big of a giant to make a change. I even emailed the CEO address with a less than favorable response. Compensation would've been nice like "hey it's on the house" after showing photos, but no. I did it in hopes that some kind of company standard would change but no. The pr guy was just apologizing.
Thank you.

Same here. I even go to the office and pick up my packages there since it's a few minutes away.
I actually really wish I could do that with USPS but it either costs money or it just isn't possible cause of reasons.
Yeah
But hey at least we're getting our stuff right? Let's just hope that they come in great condition!

One of my preorders of the EU Special Edition shipped - wohoooo. Seems like my Amazon preorder will also ship. Will scalp the shit out of my second copy !!!!11111
just kidding. Will give my second copy to a friend in need.
The delivery guy always calls me when he's heading my way. So I never miss my delivery , worst case, we arrange a meeting place to get my stuff.Same here. I even go to the office and pick up my packages there since it's a few minutes away.

They also treat my packages better than usps. Which managed to squish my Puyo Puyo box.
Edit my order is shipping.

DUDE THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!They also treat my packages better than usps. Which managed to squish my Puyo Puyo box.
Sorry. Just got excited haha. But no when I opened it the box was crushed so much the only reason it was any more flat was because of the Switch game case inside. I was flipping mad.
But then I got a fix. Now I have a nice box with only a faint crease on the side.
You guys can probably tell I have a problem with things looking perfect. I really should talk to someone about this.

USPS supposedly dropped mine off from Amazon today. Came packed with something else I ordered yesterday. I'll have a look and report back when I get home.
Lol
My usps messed up by trying to shove as many things as possible in my locker. I put some of the blame on Amazon for using a bubble mailer. But Amazon always steps ups to fix any problems so I'm good.
Well you're buying it, I think it's only fair it arrives in the proper condition.
Amiibo included too in the EU version. Why NOA? ;_;Why no OT yet?
Already got mine

I just want to see closeups of the pins...
They've done the same with the Zelda BotW LE. I think they'll continue with that.
Ours thus is 80 Euros, and thus quite a bit more expensive.

ShopTo will hopefully deliver mine tomorrow.
Was hoping for today.

Got my EU LE today. I'm pretty happy with it. Thank god NoE is using some proper and stable boxes, not that flumsy stuff for the US. They did not always look that good, though. No USK or PEGI logo on the game case is nice and seems to be the new standard after the Breath of the Wild EU LE. Good!
Does the New3DS have any improvements over the old one for this game?

Some of y'all are lucky. Mine is still leaving package facility and in transit to carrier. Since yesterday at 5:13 AM...
I was surprised at that bit of news as well. It's not very often LE and SE offerings contain full tracks. For the money paid, sample CD'S seem like a cheap cop out.

Amazon ships my order: arriving tomorrow using USPS.
GameStop ships the order that I forgot about: arriving tomorrow(?) using UPS.
Come on Amazon...y u no use UPS???

My order just shipped via USPS so I know this thing will most likley be shipped in a padded envelope and will get fucked in so many positions before it arrives to me. I have the worst luck with the USPS and I hate getting packages from them but I cant blame them anymore. It is Amazon, their packaging is so bad these days for obviously collectors items which most want and expect to be in excellent condition. And no matter how much complaints they get nothing changes.

what do th amiibos do?
They keep you warm and comfy at night, with the thought that new FE Amiibo will remain hard to get the first 3 months after release.
Alm and Celica amiibo unlock two dungeons with some items and small lore dumps(or whatever you would like to call those tablets)

I have one coming from someone on GAF who ordered it from Amazon.
Hoping it ships today and can get here tomorrow!

Mine shipped at the bottom of a box under a jug of laundry detergent. So, needless to say, it's crushed. Amazon has no replacements, of course. They're offering me a 30% refund. I don't know what other options I have.

Mine shipped a half an hour ago. So it may or may not arrive tomorrow we shall see.
Should've waited on the detergent! But seriously, I never recommend going through Amazon for LEs...

Sorry to hear that man. Amazon has been seriously dropping the ball lately, my P5 limited edition was crushed as well. Hope my copy of FE doesn't end up all fucked up. Just to be safe, I also ordered a second copy from GameStop in case they do screw up.
Boy, this is why I'm glad I have a backup just in case Amazon graces me with such a condition.
Except for a couple things, I've nope'd out from getting from them. I try warning people in most LE topics, but some are so adamant on gettimg it from Amazon.

Amazon is just much more conviant for me. Prime discount, and only once did they fail me on day 1 delivery
Had a couple bad experiences with Best Buy and don't like GameStop.
