Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now

“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. 

Just say no.  Support local record stores.  Even if they're in another state.  Many of them offer shipping and many are on Discogs.

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 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”

@lalitk - good to know re the options.

Haha - one of my reviews where I called out Amazon did not make it.
