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.
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.
