What is the difference between frustration free packaging and regular?

This product was so well packed that there was no way it would leak during the transit.

All I know is, it usually is shipped inside a cardboard cylinder inside the shipping box. Great maple syrup.

I think frustration free must refer to he outer box it comes in because the jug is the same as retail. Outer packaging is a box with a cut cardboard tube as a spacer/protection for the neck of the jug.

I'm not sure about the exact differences, but mine came without retail packaging.

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

Standard packaging is the thick, secured plastic packaging you may find at a local store. It's the packaging you have to use some super scissors or a razor blade to cut through...and hopefully not slicing your finger. Hence, the frustration-free packaging which is a cheaper packaging. If you owned a store front, you may want to get the standard packaging to minimize people stealing your product...however, if you are like me who is just buying the product...it's a nice alternative that reduces your cost of the exact same product.

Usually it is cheaper, but the price might have gone up temporarily because they were running low on stock. They are actually the same package, but the one sold by Amazon is "frustration free" because they are able to inspect the packaging to determine if it meets their standard for easy opening. Even though it is the same package, they can't vouch for what is being sold by 3rd parties.

It comes in a simple package that doesn't require power tools to open. I'm sure you know that many things come in plastic that requires, at least, a sharp pair of scissors. Frustration free just means that it doesn't come in that type of packaging and you will be able to remove it from the box/envelope and use it immediately.

Since I ordered "standard" packaging, I can't comment on the "frustration free", but I had absolutely no frustration with the standard packaging. I used a knife, but even without a knife I'm sure I wouldn't have had any difficulty. There were no foam peanuts or anything else that might require great recycling lengths.

I don't understand what frustration free packaging means? I ordered two Optima Batteries from Amazon and I had to "jokeling open them up with a crow bar. The packaging was the best and most secure that I have ever seen. Isn't that the purpose? to get a quality item shipped without damage and not have FFD (frustration free damage) Great Product and Great Packaging. VERY HAPPY! PS: You buying the battery or the box it comes in?

If you've ever gotten a Kindle, you've used the frustration free packaging. It's the recycled zip tie pox. Standard packing is what you would get at a retail store.

Using recyclable boxes that are easy to open and free of excess materials such as hard plastic clamshell cases, plastic bindings, and wire ties, Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging is designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging.

Not really sure, but frustration free worked fine for us. I think if it is a gift be careful because you can tell - it is not an amazon box.

Standard may be more difficult to open frustration -free is simple but protective

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

If you mean frustration free packaging, that means they'll send you the actual product box, rather than the product box shipped inside a plain brown box, hence standard shipping (I believe).

From what I can find on the Microsoft site, the difference is in the packaging. It's probably just cheaper/simple cardboard packaging, so it costs less.

There is no difference in addition to the packing.the Frustration-Free Packaging is more firmer than the other.

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