Snapper cases, what are they like for shipping ?

[Jimmyboy]

SwordFish ships the end of the month by WB so it will come in a snapper case.
I don't think I've ever ordered a snapper case DVD from overseas before and was wondering if the chances of it being a shaker are increased or decreased compared to standerd Amaray's ?.

It totally depends who you're ordering from - Amazon.com have the most sturdy packaging - thick cardboard boxes or small cardboard packs (depending on the size of order) - so I've never had any problem.

Mind you some people say they've had shakers from dvdboxoffice and play247 etc, but I've never had a shaker ever, from any company, so its pot luck I guess.

I have had around 35 orders shipped to me in Australia from ABSound and there have been about 35-40 snappers in those orders with no problems with snapper case or disc

But with the same orders I have had titles in keep cases (amarays, alphas and that case that universal are now using) turn up with broken cases of the disc floating around in the case.

I've had several floaters in Amaray cases, but I've never had a floater in a snapper, however the snapper case has been dented or creased several times in the post, and I've never had a damaged Amaray.
