Amazon, FACEBOOK, GOOGLE, TWITTER are all current examples of arrogance and greed on the part of the people in charge of these companies. Such conduct is the reason why we have anti monopoly laws. They will get more arrogant before they are controlled because they can not control themselves.
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.

“Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now” Amazon gives you an option to use Amazon (box) packaging if you don’t want clear plastic wrap. I just ordered few LP’s and got following packaging option during checkout, “Item arrives in packaging that shows what’s inside. To hide it, choose Ship in Amazon packaging” |

Amazon shipped this record in a plastic bag. |
Amazon usually packs records in an oversized bow with balloons. The record slides around in there damaging the corners of the cover. Elusive disc uses special cardboard record mailers. I have never gotten a damaged disc from them. I only order records from Amazon when I have no choice and keep my fingers crossed. You can always return damaged records free of charge. If you are a good Amazon customer you usually do well by them. The plastic wrap was probably a newbie with no one watching. |
“Amazon usually packs records in an oversized bow with balloons. The record slides around in there damaging the corners of the cover.” I just received my Eva Cassidy’s Nightbird 7LP Boxed Set in a custom cardboard box from Amazon. The box set was in pristine condition. As I said before, damages can happen with any vendor when packaging person cut corners or being careless. My last shipment from Elusive Disc was in bullet proof packaging, 5 LP’s double boxed with bubble tubes protecting the internal box. |
