What's the difference between the "Frustration Free and Standard Packaging"?

Frustration free packaging is an easy to open design of shipping boxes. If I remember correctly you just pull a perforated strip of cardboard off on one side and the box is open.

The standard packaging is the same thing you would find in the store. Frustration free packaging is where you can open everything up without needing a grenade, large hunting knife or nuclear explosive device. For some items, it is certainly worth it especially for things bound in blister packs which are either sealed with heat or crimped on the outside. For this item, I have not seen the normal packaging but the frustration free was super easy.

A,B,C,etc are just different packages with different amount of accessories. That is the ONLY different. Other than that the Control boxes on these packages are EXACTLY the same box.

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.

Frustration free packaging is the reduced overall amount of packing materials used.

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

I went with retail packaging. Came in the same packaging that you would see in best buy or any retail store. Didn't want to chance getting standard packaging.

No idea! I've never tried the "frustration free" - it may refer to a good package that it doesn't break?! :)...

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.

Frustration-Free is just different packaging. Same bulb. Go w/ the cheapest, usually Frustration Free.

Standard packaging is like you'd find at any store if you went to buy the product. Frustration-free packaging is meant to be simpler and easier to open. There are no twist-ties or zip-ties holding things to the packaging. Frustration-free packaging is also in basically just a plain brown cardboard box (in my experience).See this: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

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. ;-)

original PUR packaging. sounds strange, isn't it? I wouldn't be so surprised if it's hassle-free package.

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

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.

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.

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?
