Chelsea, You know how most things are packaged do secure you normally can't get them out without scissors/knife? Well this you can just pull the back of and there is your product. Hope this helps. Jo-Ann

Not really sure. You may need to contact the seller to find out what the difference is, if any. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have owned both - no difference just packaging. Usually one of the two is cheaper from day to day.

I think the difference is just packaging. This product has no box, instead just plastic zip.

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.

"Frustration-Free Packaging is an Amazon initiative designed to alleviate "wrap rage" by featuring products in recyclable boxes that are easy to open and contain fewer excess materials." That's from Amazon's FAQ:

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.

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.

I assume Frustration Free means it is the actual box of the item, it is not placed in a larger box, that's how mine was delivered.

There is no difference in addition to the packing.the Frustration-Free Packaging is more firmer than the other.

I may be wrong, but I think the "FFP" stands for Frustration Free Packaging, which is part of the Amazon Advertisement/Description.

Just easier to unpack. Something like this it probably wouldn't make much difference. Things like batteries, etc that are packaged in those hard plastic holders is another story. Personally, if the cost is the same as stated below, I would always opt for the frustration-free. ;-)

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

Frustration-free just means the dollhouse comes unwrapped, without the outer packaging you would find on it in the store. It comes assembled either way

I'm not super positive.... I got the standard and it came in retail packaging so I think the frustrations free might come shipped out of the original plastic box.

Probably easier to answer, what is frustration packaging, and then think opposite :). If you ever tried to get into the hard plastic wrapped things (where you need to cut it), or ever bought the nexus 4, where it was frustrating getting at the mobile...frustration free is the exact opposite. You can open it, without effort, and you don't need to say things like "$"£*&" (insert you favourite swear word, or if you don't swear, something like "Oh dear loed") and throw the package against the wall in frustration.
