Q: What is Frustration Free Packaging?
A: Hi there!
With Frustration-Free packaging, your set will still come with the normal LEGO® packaging and will ship in a regular cardboard box. This cardboard box will say LEGO® Building Toys on it.
For more information on frustration-free packaging, you can head to Amazon.com/frustrationfree.

The original retail packaging is not on sale.
In case anyone has never seen an original retail Lego box... it's incredibly easy to open.
Which leads me to believe the "frustration-free" packaging is their attempt to re-sell returned sets which had damaged boxes as 'new'.
May not be a big deal for some.

Thanks to comments below it appears the frustration-free packaging still comes with the original retail box as well. Very nice!

If you can't open normal Lego packaging you likely can't put the set together anyway...
If you find it "frustrating" to cut 2 pieces of tape to open the box, and tear thin plastic bags I don't know what to say 🤦

I believe it's the same box, just what that box is in, usually means a lego outer cardboard box, which is usually nicer anyways.
I appreciate the response but I don't believe that is the case.
All "frustration-free" packaging I've received in the past (granted they weren't Lego) did not come in retail packaging. It was basically a simple cardboard box.
What you are describing -- putting the retail box inside another box -- doesn't align with the purpose of the frustration-free packaging.

They may have changed it, but all the frustration free lego I've ordered come in the lego retail outer box, with the lego set and box as you would expect.
If that's the case then I may go ahead and order one.
Thanks for the clarification!

I have had the same experience as MrEnigma - most of my frustration free Lego orders have come in the box that Lego ships with from the warehouse. Occasionally, I will get an Amazon box. You can usually mark the order as a gift to ensure you get the Lego set in a box.
If anything the "frustration-free" packaging sounds even better protected.
Thanks everyone who chimed in with their experiences!
