No, it's not usually the shipping that causes damage to the box sets. I've hardly ever had problems with Amazon and I always pick the free shipping. With DD, the majority of the damage does not happen while the package is being shipped, they put plenty of crumpled up brown paper in the box as padding to protect it from moving around or being smushed. Sometimes it's because of the way DD poorly packs their box sets, but by looking at it, you can tell the sets were in damaged condition before they were placed in the shipping box. Big-ass cuts through the side of the box set were definitely not made while it was being shipped, and I'd never be that dumb to stick my knife in that deep when opening my shipment.
If the condition really bothers me, I usually just buy another copy at a store and return the messed up one. Do you know another way to remedy this problem?
