Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now

“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”

@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. 

I am expecting a record shipment next week, will post packaging feedback. I am not too worried, if it’s not in pristine condition then it goes back.

It appears teo_audio forgot to take his happy pill today 😂

“With all the specialized record stores (websites), why do you buy on amazon?”

$$$$Savings.....I have saved $5-$7 on each record I bought from Amazon vs Elusive, AS and Music Direct. Just saved $40 on Eva Cassidy’s Nightbird 7LP Boxed Set.

Shipping damages can happen with any vendor. I know it sucks when you’re at the receiving end. Amazon is very easy to deal with, the return process is simple and automated and they offer free returns. 

“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.
