What is the difference between "Frustration-free" and "Standard" Packaging?

It's Amazons custom packing that is supposed to make for easier opening. It's also recyclable and protects the product.See more info here: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

Have you ever got a pack of D size batteries and they put them in that tough plastic packaging that is just brutal to get into? Well, Amazon will send you those batteries (or whatever you are ordering) in a plain thin cardboard box that is super easy to open and is "Frustration-free".

No clue...however, this item came in easy to unpack fashion. No stuffing with extra packaging material, just the styrofoam inset holding the processor firm in the box.

Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging is a multi-year initiative designed to alleviate 'wrap rage'--the frustration of trying to free a product from a nearly impenetrable package. Using recyclable boxes that are easy to open and free of excess materials such as hard plastic clamshell cases, plastic bindings, and wire ties, Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging is designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. The product is exactly the same--we've just changed the packaging. In addition to making packages easier to open, a major goal of the Frustration-Free Packaging initiative is to be more environmentally friendly by using less material. It will take many years, but our vision is to offer our entire catalog of products in Frustration-Free Packaging.

Since I ordered "standard" packaging, I can't comment on the "frustration free", but I had absolutely no frustration with the standard packaging. I used a knife, but even without a knife I'm sure I wouldn't have had any difficulty. There were no foam peanuts or anything else that might require great recycling lengths.

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.

The frustration-free packaging comes with an insert information card. It has a lifetime limited warranty in the US and a 30 year warranty in Germany and regions not recognizing lifetime limited. Also, I think the frustration-free packaging needs a bit more padding. My experience with SanDisk USB sticks has been great. Very reliable and I can't recall a read or write error. My sticks are used mainly on Windows XP and Windows 7 machines and a Samsung blu-ray player.

I have no idea. I just went to look at the item description to see what this was even referring to, and I was surprised. I think the frustration free packaging refers to something offered through amazon, right? Sorry I can't be of any more help. I will tell you that the little foil is easy to undo on these though and they are delightful little sizes.

If you've ever gotten a Kindle, you've used the frustration free packaging. It's the recycled zip tie pox. Standard packing is what you would get at a retail store.

I noticed as of today, 6/7/14, that there are two prices listed--$12.54 for frustration free packaging and $25.99 for standard packaging. Don't know the difference in the packaging. That is quite strange in my opinion. I would definitely opt for the cheaper price instead of the doubled price. I had never seen that before when I ordered it.

Not really sure, but frustration free worked fine for us. I think if it is a gift be careful because you can tell - it is not an amazon box.

Frustration Free, the drive just comes in a cardboard envelope. Regular packaging, the drive cones in the plastic packaging that is impossible to open.

There isn't a difference between the packages except the item count. I've also purchased it in a single count pack.

I bought one of these last year for my bf's (then 5 y.o.) son. I don't remember if I chosethe 'Frustration Free' packaging, but his came in a cardboard box, with the gun inside the Red Ryder box inside of that.Either way, it was not frustrating at all.

I purchased with Frustration Free packaging. There was a bar code. However, submitting the rebate, I received a letter from Oral-B stating that barcode was ineligible and my rebate was denied. Select Retail packaging for the rebate.

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?

Frustration free is like a package where you get your item straight out of the box where in retail packaging, you get the otterbox retail packaging itself as if you bought it from a retail store. Hope this helped

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.
