Standard packaging is a pain to get open; usually plastic sealed around the edges, pieces difficult to get out of pkg. Frustration free packaging is easy open.

Frustration-Fee packaging contains less plastic blister packed items that are difficult to open. It is recycled material. All manufactured pieces are included. It's just easier to open and easier on the environment.

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.

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.

I believe, frustration free, means though extremely well wrapped (like double bubble wrap), it is easy enough to unpackage. Standard, means though well wrapped, there could be a remote possibility of damage. I have NEVER had any damage. luckily.

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.

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.

Bulk doesn't come in fancy clamshell packaging. Just put in a small plastic bag inside a non descript box. Price difference was more tha $10 less when I purchased the bulk so I went with that. Same product, just different packaging. Think of the equivalent of amazons frustration free packaging. Product works great

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.

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 packaging means the product is not shipped in the normal package you would get off the shelf of the store. It is often easier to open/unpack and has less to throw out.

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.

It ships in a cardboard box that doesn't have all sorts of adds on it, but does say "frustration free packaging". This box is easy to wrap as a gift, doesn't communicate to the kids what exactly is inside, and is easy to open. The actual box that you see in the product picture is inside the cardboard box that says "frustration free packaging". I wish all children's gifts were so easy to wrap and open. Everything else that people have said about the pieces being easy to store in the original packaging is also true.
