Standard Blu-ray case with a card slip cover.

Thanks for your reply, Marc.

But, I meant shipping packaging (those card "wraparounds" that Eureka uses, padded envelopes, ...)?

Lately I've been having a hard time getting items in one piece when some cardboard packaging isn't used (broken cases, loose discs, ...). That's why despite not being a big fan of Amazon, I usually use them for BDs (but they don't ship this release outside of the UK).

thanks

For those who ordered this release directly from Fractured Visions, may I ask: what kind of packaging do they use (cardboard packaging like Eureka, those thin padded envelopes like Zavvi, ...)?

I tried to reach out to them several times to ask about this (email, social media, ...), but I didn't get a reply.

Sorry to "vent" a bit, but post-Brexit it's majorly annoying to buy anything from the UK.
Amazon.co.uk still does not ship this release outside of the UK. So basically, for this title I can either try Zavvi (who always finds a way to destroy my packages), or I can try to order directly from the label (despite they charging almost £10 in shipping, and charging me UK VAT, which they shouldn't, since I'm supposed to pay local VAT at arrival of the package).
And just like that, a single release ends up costing me more than 50€ (£24.99 for the item, £9.00 for the shipping, plus local customs/VAT (23%), which also includes a customs presentation charge of €12).

At least I hope they provide decent packaging, since paying all this for a damaged item would be a bit much. 

If you are in EU, it is very strange that you can not order this release from Amazon UK. I am in a country outside EU but still can order the disc without VAT (GBP 17.79 + GBP 3.58 P&P + EUR 1.00 custom clearance).

Amazon.co.uk has been like this since brexit.
I can't pre-order a goddamned thing from them. I see the items as pre-orderable, but as soon as I log-in, and set a EU address, it's listed as not available.

For most titles, a few days after they are released they are "orderable", but many others (like this one) still aren't.

To give you an idea, please check the link below:

There's 2 screenshots there.
The first one is when I have a delivery address inside the EU (it can be mine, in Portugal, or my brother's in France). It says the title is not available, "temporarily out of stock" (it has been like this since it first appeared on the store, even before it launched).

The second screenshot is if I add a UK postal code. As you can see, the item is orderable that way.
Sadly, if I add it to the card, and proceed to check out, when I select a EU address I get a message saying the item can't be delivered there, and that I need to select another address.
