what does the frustration-free packaging mean?

It means it comes in a box and easy-to-open plastic bag instead of one of those devil plastic things that take a knife, scissors, and a ninja sword to open. It's nice :) It still arrives plenty protected.

The 2 piece assembly makes it easy to put on. First the rubber cover goes on the phone; then the hard cover easily snaps in place.

When I purchased this toy, I don't recall if it was "frustration free" packaging, but it was in a "normal" toy box from Fisher Price, not some generic cardboard. We gave it as a birthday gift to a 2-year old. She loved it!

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.

If you mean frustration free packaging, that means they'll send you the actual product box, rather than the product box shipped inside a plain brown box, hence standard shipping (I believe).

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.

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.

Frustrating free packaging is when you don't need heavy duty scissors and tools to get the toy out of the box and you can play with immediately. Retail package is when it take twenty minutes to release the toy from the box that it came in due to all the screws, ties, straps etc. and strength.

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

It means that it does not come in the fancy retail clear plastic case targeted for retail shelves. It's still new, and comes with all the same components. It comes in a box without fancy printing, just not a "collector's case" that you'd probably throw away shortly after you get it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
