I think it refers to the item being easy to open and play with immediately. We were able to pop the toys right out of the plastic packaging inside the box it came in. Our girls have had such fun with this toy I highly reccomend it!

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.

If you order the 'hassle-free' packaging, it comes in a regular Amazon box. If you do the 'standard packaging' it comes in it's normal box IN an Amazon box. (For this purchase, there isn't a price difference but there might be on other items.. keep an eye out!)

Just get the frustration-free packaging. It's basically just the headphones in their (heavy duty) storage case, in an amazon box with some bubble wrap. I assume the standard packaging involves some plastic and clam shell packaging. Frustration-free is the way to go, as I notice it is cheaper. It is the way I got them. Also -- awesome headset, go for it.

Frustration Free Packaging (FFP) is recyclable packaging that is designed for the specific product and tested for durability. I use it any time that it's available! Here's a link with more info: http://www.amazon.com/b/?&node;=5521637011

I believe they are the same except for packaging. (AFFP means Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging.)

I believe the difference is only in packaging. Retail, boxed and wrapped in plastic with instructions vs. Minimal, aimed toward someone buying in bulk.

Retail packaging. But it IS frustration free. Pretty much your basic teapot.

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 packaging arrives in a cardboard box sealed with a piece of tape, at least that's what it was in my case.

Here is the information on "Frustration-Free Packaging": http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200285450. It looks like they use less materials to ship the order. I chose the standard shipping, but the item looks like what the image appears for the carafe when you click the frustration-free option. The standard packaging was the option for Amazon Prime, and it arrived in a brown box with the air pillow and was in excellent condition. Hope this helps!

There is a little teeny tiny itsy bitsy place to click on next to the ships and sold from Amazon.com that explains frustration free packaging. This was not a choice when I bought this product, but it was just the original box of the products inside a slightly bigger box, just so they could slap a shipping label on it. Just as easy for this product.

Frustration free is just that, it us easy to open. With normal packaging you may need a knife or scissors, with this type it may be just tide with a string and simple knot that comes undone just by pulling the string.

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

I purchased with Frustration Free packaging. There was a bar code. However, submitting the rebate, I received a letter from Oral-B stating that barcode was ineligible and my rebate was denied. Select Retail packaging for the rebate.

I would say that the Frustration-Free Packing is supposed to be easier to open. The bucket with the blocks didn't come in a plastic bag, it was just in the box. Makes for very easy access. Hope this helps :)

Frustration-Free packaging comes with everything except the annoying packaging, everything is already pre-cluttered. you still get the essentials like the cable and manuals with non of the hassle of excess plastic bags you usually get in packages.
