Selfridges

Has any international buyers purchased large Lego sets from Selfridges?  Just curious about their packaging methods. I'm in the USA.

I imagine something like this?

(This is a joke about how Jeremy Piven played Mr. Selfridge in a TV series)

I've only ordered from Harrod's before - they double boxed the USC MF I got there.

They are selling the Assembly Square for $210 USD each. I bought 2 to get over the $300 threshold required for international shipping. $225 each all in after free shipping code and taxes. Shipping notification has them shipping separately via DHL arriving Friday.  Should be interesting.

Orders arrived. Superior packaging. Mint boxes. Orders arrived in less than 5 days. 
 

Some US retailers should take notes.

In case anyone cares...Update...

I ordered more than several of these tax free to Missouri.  All sold out now. The packaging got progressively worse and some boxes took a beating. Looks like there may have been some repackaging in transit.  Anyway, still a lot of money to be made at the price point they were selling them.
