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.

Plastic packaging?
As well as the safety of our LPs, we must think of environmental issues.

When lobbying Amazon and other suppliers we should criticise use of unfriendly, unrecyclable materals as well as poorly thought out packaging.

Those (nearly all) of us on Prime who get free delivery shouldn't abuse this privilege.  We should group our orders so that less packaging is used and less energy and CO2 in making one delivery instead of say four or five.

Be thoughtful!
