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.
