It comes in what I'd call an open box. Certain pieces are cushioned in paperboard like drink containers from a fast food restaurant. Not a single box unit like you would see in the store. No cutting of plastic made it was easier to extricate the items.

frustration free is basically an easy to open box. Retail packaging is the semi hard plastic packaging that is sealed and requires you to cut into it to open it. Frustration free is the way to go unless you plan to resale it.

i wish i had read this earlier. it looks like the frustration-free packaging comes with two brush heads while the retail packaging only comes with one. i would have gotten the frustration-free packaging if i had known that.

Frustration free is just that, it us easy to open. With normal packaging you may need a knife or scissors, with this type it may be just tide with a string and simple knot that comes undone just by pulling the string.

Frustration Free Packaging (FFP) is recyclable packaging that is designed for the specific product and tested for durability. I use it any time that it's available! Here's a link with more info: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

I think frustration free must refer to he outer box it comes in because the jug is the same as retail. Outer packaging is a box with a cut cardboard tube as a spacer/protection for the neck of the jug.

Sorry but I really don't know what the difference would be. Just the difference in packaging? Don't know.

Frustration free is usually all cardboard and very easy to open. Standard is often difficult to open.

There is a little teeny tiny itsy bitsy place to click on next to the ships and sold from Amazon.com that explains frustration free packaging. This was not a choice when I bought this product, but it was just the original box of the products inside a slightly bigger box, just so they could slap a shipping label on it. Just as easy for this product.

There is a normal and frustration free packaging. Normal is its display box. Frustration free is a brown box which is easier to take the toy out of.

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.

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

Webwizardry, I wondered, too, so I Googled it and discovered that in the months since you posted your question, additional online info explaining this kind of packaging has appeared. Turns out that Frustration Free Packaging is an Amazon.com invention that replaces the original packaging with a simple carton. Pros: Less fiddly. Cons: (1) Buyers lose the original artwork, etc. of the original packaging. (2) Buyers take the risk of pieces, instructions, or other items that were sealed in the original packaging getting lost in transit, as it were, during the move from the original packaging to Frustration Free Packaging. For more info -- and a side-by-side comparison -- check out Amazon's YouTube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXcoM1W5kJ4. (While you view, also check out the comments, which include contributions from Amazon customers who've tried both Frustration Free Packaging and standard packaging.) From what I saw at YouTube, Frustration Free Packaging might really come in handy if one is ordering an item for, say, an elderly relative, or someone who has physical or cognitive challenges or is just plain super-strapped for time. For my own part, however, I'd rather spend extra time unwrapping something than risk having the item I ordered arrive with pieces missing. This is doubly true in the case of an item that is made in China, as the "Pandemic Board Game" is. As thousands of Amazon.com reviews indicate, many of us have learned the hard way that items manufactured in China quite often ship with promised components -- e.g. batteries, essential screws, assembly wrenches, instruction sheets, etc. -- missing; I personally see no need to tempt fate by enabling a packaging transfer that offers an additional opportunity for things to go missing! At any rate, Webwizardry, I know that I'm posting this answer long after you posted your question, but I hope that the game shopping that you were doing when you posted your question last year went well. : )

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.

Bulk packaging means that the package will not be decorated, anti-theft, the minimum necessary to ship the product, etc. Retail packaging is decorated "in-store" packaging, the way you would see it in a store. Frustration free packaging features items in recycled boxes that are easy to open unlike hard plastic clamshell castings, wire ties, etc.

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
