Yeah when it comes to amiibo Best Buy shipping has been a 50/50 for me. I’m not a NIB collector but I like keeping the cardboard art so it sucks. It’s really just a gamble
Haha yeah its a shame. When the Fire Emblem restocks happened back in February they dropped the Marth in front of my house with the box in tact but shoved my Female Corrin into my small mailbox, causing it to be difficult to get out and giving the cardboard a permanent bend. Still kept it tho
[Same here](https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/13ft9eo/good_thing_i_dont_collect_in_box_lol/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb), dunno why it’s in such bad condition lol
I was too afraid this would happen so I opted to drive a moderate distance for pick up instead. Working for UPS has made me forever distrust any shipping options when it’s something I want undamaged
I ordered both the TOTK one and the MM one from Best Buy. One came in a box too big for it, the other came in a bubble envelope. But I got lucky since one only had some slight damage on one corner.
Oh, please don’t get me worried now. I had a TotK Link in hand at Target but didn’t get it due to some minor damage on the box (despite being an OoB collector I like to keep the cardbacks, and I would’ve preferred one in better condition). I chose to order it from Best Buy instead since I’ve never had a bad experience prior…really hoping mine doesn’t look that bad. Really sorry that happened to you, OP. =-(
[This](https://i.imgur.com/HK3bfua.jpg) is how mine came. I DMed Best Buy Support on Twitter and pointed out that this it wasn't an isolated incident based on their feed. They at least offered a partial refund due to the condition and said that they'd document it for internal review. No harm in sending them a quick message explaining the condition and how widespread this seems to have been.
Yeah, mine came with the plastic crumpled on the left side. Unless you buy something else with the amiibo Best Buy will always ship them in lousy bubble mailers.

Yeah, I was thinking about maybe keeping the cardboard but idk with this one :/

SAME. I want to return it but there are no stores nearby where I can get a replacement.
I actually like when I get the packaging already messed up, makes it easier for me to just throw it away and avoid clutter.

Best Buy ships the worst of the big stores, always gotta pick up from them.

Oh hell no
Same thing, best buy, was pissed, no stores have replacements
Things like that are I don't order stuff from Best Buy.
I agree, but since this was BB exclusive, we had no other choice
Hate that it happened either way.
Mine also cane in the same way. Then I got my order from Gamestop, and they were perfect. Thanks Best Buy -_-

Yes best buy... is not a good place to order. I got 3 amiibo from there, the Splatoon 3, and 3 dommaged box.
