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 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.
Just received 2 albums from Amazon this week and they were in cardboard album packaging.  
It happened to me again yesterday. I received one lp in a plastic/padded bag and two lps in their own cardboard mailers inside a bigger box. This has only happened when I'm on Prime.
