    Online firms that ship games in a box?

    Really cheesed off with GamePlay for no longer shipping games in a box, and effectively that means I'll no longer order LE's (something which I buy regularly) from them.

    So anyone know of any reputable UK online retailers that still ship using the good old fashioned boxes, either as default, or if you request them to do so?

    Don't Amazon do this?

      Game.net have sent any GBA games I've ordered from them in a box.

          I got the Gears of War Ltd Ed from Sendit.com this morning packed in a sturdy cardboard box.

          It was my 1st order with them though so not sure if they always use boxes or just for certain items.

            I'd expect a lot of places to stop shipping boxes. It pushes them into the higher Royal Mail size (and price) category, because they're over 250mm thick. Envelopes are just under.

              Yeah, forgot to mention that although Amazon do, their standard delivery option (free) doesn't get you the game until a day after release (sometimes 3 days after gameplay would)

              Hmm, might be tempted to try that, but I guess it's ultimately their choice so I dunno.

              Oh the irony. GoW was actually cheaper at sendit, but I didn't order from there as I previously bought my Oblivion CE from them and it ended up being sent in an envelope (and hence bent in the middle).
              I might give them another try.

              Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
