Finally, Amazon Learns to Package Records.


I must have sent at least 20 damaged records/covers back to Amazon because of silly packaging. It was so bad I stopped buying records from them. Last week I had to order three records from Amazon because they were the only store to have them. They came beautifully packed in the same cardboard record boxes that Elusive Disc uses and double boxed with padding!

I would very much like to support smaller businesses supplying Vinyl  LP's. My experiences with a limited amount of Companies, where return items are to be attempted has been very frustrating as well as unsuccessful. I no longer buy from such services.

I have had to date great experiences using Crowd Fund dealing direct with Performers or directly from the Performers merchandise web page. By great experiences I mean high quality products with no need to consider returning a item. 

When it comes to buying LP's in general, Amazon is my source for the items, as there returns support is very very good. 

After experiences had, with multiple returns.

If one would like a speedier option to acquire an satisfactory pressing. I would suggest a method of buying, where  3-5 LP's are to be purchased, if No1 is totally satisfactory return 2-4 x LP's.

If the No1 is not suitable keep trying the spare Albums. 

I have returned to Amazon 3x with a Single Album purchase to get the best pressing available from a small batch tried out.
