Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now

Used to be that they would ship albums in an Amazon box or sometimes even a proper record mailer. The box wasn't a good fit, but it provided protection.  Now, they ship in plastic.  Both of my albums seemed to arrive okay, although I haven't had the chance to play them yet - visually they look fine. The Prime is convenient, but this does it for me - I'm not buying any more albums from Amazon.

Prior to this, I had also received a similar shipment and shrugged it off thinking of it as an isolated incident. For this particular shipment, one album shipped from OR and the other from IL. Hopefully they will correct this soon.

I am expecting a record shipment next week, will post packaging feedback. I am not too worried, if it’s not in pristine condition then it goes back.

It appears teo_audio forgot to take his happy pill today 😂

I received an LP from Amazon yesterday. It was in an unpadded plastic bag (?!), one corner of the cover bent and creased at the LP's perimeter. Back it goes!

I received a record last week from Amazon and it was in a regular LP cardboard mailer. Maybe the plastic wrap is coming from Marketplace vendors?
