Does it really have a packaging that is 'frustration free'? Does that mean the regular packaging is really frustrating?

Honestly for me the packaging was pretty simple. Although it was kind big for something as small as the usb

The packaging is somewhat frustrating but how it is packaged is to keep the flash drive in place. You can either use scissors to cut the package or just tear it open , holding it and bend it down. pretty easy. lift the plastic up and out it comes.

mine came fine with the standard packaging, the biggest disappointment is that things don't really line up and lock as you would think they should ... the thing looks a bit crooked and needed a fair amount of tinkering with to get all the lines straight ... remember, it's all particle board underneath and while it sounds like a good deal, if skewed lines in your furniture are going to bother you, look elsewhere ...

If you order the 'hassle-free' packaging, it comes in a regular Amazon box. If you do the 'standard packaging' it comes in it's normal box IN an Amazon box. (For this purchase, there isn't a price difference but there might be on other items.. keep an eye out!)

I don't understand what frustration free packaging means? I ordered two Optima Batteries from Amazon and I had to "jokeling open them up with a crow bar. The packaging was the best and most secure that I have ever seen. Isn't that the purpose? to get a quality item shipped without damage and not have FFD (frustration free damage) Great Product and Great Packaging. VERY HAPPY! PS: You buying the battery or the box it comes in?

I just received my order and it came in a plain brown amazon box. It is a christmas gift and i'm not happy about a 2 year old opening the wrapping paper to find a box with no picture. Didn't realize it defaults to frustration free packaging. If it is a gift, make sure you select standard packaging.

My sets came in the straight packing box with dividers instead of the fancy box in the packing box. Kind like bulk buying. I think that is what it means "frustration-free" packaging.

It ships in a cardboard box that doesn't have all sorts of adds on it, but does say "frustration free packaging". This box is easy to wrap as a gift, doesn't communicate to the kids what exactly is inside, and is easy to open. The actual box that you see in the product picture is inside the cardboard box that says "frustration free packaging". I wish all children's gifts were so easy to wrap and open. Everything else that people have said about the pieces being easy to store in the original packaging is also true.

I believe, frustration free, means though extremely well wrapped (like double bubble wrap), it is easy enough to unpackage. Standard, means though well wrapped, there could be a remote possibility of damage. I have NEVER had any damage. luckily.

Frustration free means it comes in a smaller box and you have to put all the pieces together. It's pretty easy with this toy. They snap together quite easily. Standard packaging is the traditional kind in the store where the toy is all assembled and you have to have scissors to cut all the ties on the packaging to get the toy out. There is a lot of throw-away with this type of packaging. Hope this helps.

Honestly, I have no idea. I was pretty frustrated the whole time. Oh...you know what I think they might mean? The outer package has a little tab and you can open and close it like a cereal box. If only they had used a cardboard box and invested the money in designing a decent product to go inside.

You ask a good question and one that I posed to Amazon before making this purchase recently. Unfortunately, Amazon staff could not provide clarity, but I'm pleased to let you know that the item comes perfectly sealed from Apple. In this case, what frustration free packaging means is simply that the item comes in a box specifically made to support (protect) this item in transit. That's all. I'm very pleased that the item was in the same condition it would have been in had I purchased it directly from Apple.

Mine was not crushed. I assumed they changed packaging based on complaints.

Frustration-free packaging does not refer to the item; it is the ease in which the shipping container for any product can be opened.

Retail is a genuine product meant for the retail market. Frustration free package is without the original packaging and meant for the dealer/rep/display/overstock market. Not supposed to be for sale, but can be sold
