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.

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!

Acoustic Sounds has new LP shipping boxes that are awesome.

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?

I ordered two LP's from Amazon at the same time. They both arrived the same day, one in a cardboard mailer the other in a plastic bag. The listing for each LP listed Amazon as the order fulfiller. Amazon has until now been great, but it appears those days are over.

@aewarren,

I had quite an opposite experience with AS. I ordered three LP’s and they arrived all damaged with corners bent. I gave them feedback not to use ‘wrap around’ corrugated box.
