What is the "frustration free packaging"? It is the only one eligible for Amazon Prime but costs $8.00 more - seems like they are charging S&H to me

I paid 29. 99, my guess is that due to some complaints about damaged benches sent in only the box from the manufacturer, that they took extra care to package better. OR, it may come unassembled from other vendors? I know I pulled mine out of the box, opened the legs and it was ready to go. This is not a lightweight bench. There are other benches that cost more than this one, doubt that they could be better than this. I did see that a couple of the negative reviews were not for the product, but.due to packaging. Hope this helps.

Free if you have Amazon Prime membership. Not sure if non-Prime. put in your cart & then checkout to see what appears. Then just edit cart if you don't want it. Good Luck

It looks like one is fulfilled through Amazon with Prime shipping, the other is fulfilled through the manufacturer, Luvvitt. Still with free shipping, but not Amazon Prime.

I'm finding it for half price on other sites as well, but the shipping cost makes it the same as the prime price. Is that what you're talking about?

This is the First time EVER I have replied to someone posting on these forums. Usually, I enjoy reading and gaining insight on the topic at hand. But, since I have first hand experience I will share what I think you should do. I believe you should order it online from Amazon.com and not from one of the retailers that you can purchase from through amazon, for instance, Datavision, J&R, or Beach Camera. The price difference from bestbuy and amazon.com (Directly Amazon) is too much to ignore. I just ordered the Samsung Lnt4065f for my room for 1499.98 and it arrived on time and with great service. Eagle called me the day before and scheduled a delivery window of two to three hours and brought the tv into my house. They set it up on my tv stand and stayed until the the Lcd Tv was on and in working order. On top of that I was lucky enough to see the price drop on my model twice in a week to 1459.99 then 1409.98. I was fortunate enough to read some of these forums and realize that we could get credited back the difference within thirty days. I called Amazon and they took care of the matter immediately. The first time crediting back $40 then the second time $50. (As a sidenote, since then the Tv I bought has gone back up to 1459.98 with shipping) The price is just insanely GREAT! This same tv that I bought for $1409.98 with white glove delivery (aka bringing the tv into your house and making sure it works so you can decide whether or not you are going to accept or refuse the tv) costs $150- $200 on other websites. If I calculated shipping as $150 then I would have basically paid $1259.98. The set I bought, Samsung Lnt4065f costs 1999.99 without tax at best buy, with tax equating to well over $2100! I would again buy from directly from amazon.com (the company and not another third party vendor using amazon as a storefront) for my future big ticket purchases. I hope this helped.

I think it's because there's labor for Amazon to open the package and make it easier for the customer to open. If you don't have any trouble with opening packages, get the cheaper one.

Frustration free packaging is literally just a box within a box which opens up. I think standard packaging has other papers Styrofoam etc. in it which is messier

I'm not super positive.... I got the standard and it came in retail packaging so I think the frustrations free might come shipped out of the original plastic box.

That's what I figured ! Good customer service , hey ! It took 3 day to get a response to my email from warehouse.YOU won't believe this ........ they have 2 open box units listed now on amazon for $400 more than what I paid thaaaaaaaaaaa! I just spent 20min. on the phone with an amazon gal in Manilla explaining the deal and she agreed and sent them an email. At least I learned not to trust them. Hope you guys luck out better. Let us know what condition they are in.

My best guess is that the other one is Prime One-Day Free Shipping eligible, so the extra $ contributes to the speed to which you get it.

I just looked it up again and Insee that it's $28 if you have a Prime membership and $59 if you don't. From what I see, that's the same for either a disc or download. I prefer the download for two reasons: 1. The software key and download link are stored for you through Amazon and 2. It's easier to install across multiple platforms. Again, I am seeing the difference in the price if you are a Prime member or not, I don't see anywhere else where it's different. I might not be looking at the same thing you are....

This purchase says Amazon Prime, why would shipping still be included for $19.99? I feel cheated!

S.DowlingI'm having the same problem trying to obtain the $25 rebate. I attempted to follow Lyman's steps below but with no avail. I've contacted Amazon via email as I couldn't find a number to call them directly. If anyone has the customer service #, I'll give them a call.

For a year now I had Prime which includes free shipping and one day, two for a small fee, great deal hun? Well Prime Video is good if you like OLD movies 80's 90's. Theres a special section for Prime Video at the streaming site. What I thought when I first got it was it also included ALL the new releases, WRONG!!! just the old stuff. If you purchase a lot of things off Amazon that are under $25 this is the program for you otherwise it ain't worth it because frankly speaking the movies suck! This ain't no Netflix!!! I hope this was a help. PS: I cancel my membership in nov...Added this on Dec 30 2011: After pricing out all the buying I would do on Amazon, I kept the Prime and I'm happy I did. Back in Nov, I had no idea I was going to also purchase a 42" Toshiba 3D HDTV along with many different electronic things. After calulating shipping cost, I came way ahead with Prime. As for Prime Video, I did find some good stuff. The $79 this time was well worth it!

No idea what the trouble is. Sorry. I purchased two but only ordered mine one at a time. With prime membership (worth its cost), just order them separately and there should be no problem unless they are sold out.

I bought mine with Amazon Prime a few weeks ago so it might be a temporary thing. Not sure about the price though, the red one is awesome.
