Buying sims packs on Amazon; advice needed please

I've always bought through Origin before, but now due to available gift card balances I'm going to end up buying my next sims purchase off Amazon.

I've never done this before and I'm a bit confused so would appreciate some advice please.

On the item listing there are 3 options; PC code in a box, PC download - Origin code, and PC Origin instant access.

PC code in a box is obvious; a physical box is delivered to you with the code inside, but PC download-Origin code and PC Origin instant access are confusing me?

What's the difference between these two? what do they mean? and why is PC download-Origin code listed twice?
Does anyone know the delivery methods for these 2 options? ideally I'd like to receive an email with the code.

Here's the link. I've randomly selected cats & dogs as an example:

    I just bought some packs on Amazon using the Instant Access method. It was super quick and easy to link Amazon to my Origin account and almost immediately after I bought the packs on Amazon, Origin started downloading them. Super easy and convenient.


    That's good to know. Some of the Amazon reviews mentioned having difficulty with this method, to the point of having to get refunds. If you don't mind me asking, how did you link the accounts?
