I received news I would get a £50 refund as well as notification that they are adding a new overseas/high value packaging to avoid future damages.
These arrived a few days ago. Thanks to a member here.

Keep the tiger away from the peacock, or the tiger will be sorry.
I guess with today being Friday the 13th and all that it would be fitting that my order (for a fellow member) for the S/L would finally be approved. I was also ensured by Waterstones that "extra packaging" will be used. We shall see once it arrives.
Interesting fact....more than 10% of the total print run has been sold, or is for sale on the secondary market.
Some Waterstones still have firsts, my local has Fox and Tiger at the moment. So keep hunting!
Very fine is selling these for $1200, if it's the same book so congrats to those who were able to get them

Just a guess, but a small group of 10-15 buyers picked up ~60-75 total copies.
It arrived in a subpar outer shell and the book was free to move around inside of the shell but it did seem to be wrapped up pretty good. Upon removing the additional packaging, the book appears to be in F/F shape as it was wrapped in several layers of packing material. The only improvement I'd like to see is that the book be shipped inside of an actual box for added protection. Photos in spoiler tag below:
