Is the "frustration free" packaging a plain brown box? Quite a disapointment

ours came in a regular box similar to what you'd find in any store. The outside box in which it was shipped was brown, but the actual toys were in their original boxes.

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

From what I recall, it came in a plain brown box with no identifying labels on the packaging. Treat yourself. It's one of my favorite toys.

My calculator arrived in a box, with that being said. I think the regular plastic and red package is the one people are frustrated to open.

Comes in a plain brown square box instead of the typical box you see in the store with the zip ties and plastic thingies and tape and all that other stuff that keeps it in place and makes it look appealing on the shelf in a store. So if it is a gift and you want the fun packaging - don't get the frustration free. If you're just gonna take the toy out and start rolling it around, the frustration free is nice :) Hope this helps.

There really is no way of knowing until you get it. Most sellers don't understand that some collectors, myself included, actually care about the packaging. I own all dbz figuarts and sometimes they come with the 'brown box' and sometimes they don't. It's really annoying when other people say theirs came with the box, then I get mine without it... If it does show up damaged, return it. If you paid for something 'new' it should arrive 'new'

No I believe mine came in a brown cardboard box with a lot of shredded paper around it to prevent breakage.

The camera I ordered came in a brown box .... Not same packaging as in the store but my niece didn't care once she opened it!

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.

Mine was in a brown box without graphics, but everything was wrapped up and appeared brand new on the inside.

The frustration free packaging is a plain cardboard box and the standard packaging is the showcase packaging which is a sealed plastic container that you almost have to destroy to get at the Bluetooth device. I almost broke the device trying to get it out of the std packaging!

If memory serves, "Frustration-free" packaging is packaging that is easier to open. Sometimes, more than likely, frustration-free packaging will take longer to ship than standard packaging.

I have not received any packages in brown paper. My thought would be it allows protection for the product, and itcan conform tighter to the box than using a box that maybe too big and they would have to use packing to keep the product safe in shipping, which may increase the cost of shipping over time.

Yes, it arrived in a plain brown box that had amazon packaging tape. It is actually double boxed with the product and it's packaging inside.

It's been a while (June) but I don't remember it being in a plain white box. I wouldn't like that either!! I'm pretty sure mine was regular packaging. Sounds like you may have gotten a dud... :(
