This starts to explain why any vinyl records I order from the UK/Europe come in a package that is insufficient to protect the record. And US orders come wrapped in layers of cardboard to protect from the USPS throwers.

Yeah, I ordered a drywall trowel from Amazon a while ago and it came in a plastic bag. Someone, somewhere dropped it and it bent the corner. I looked at returning it and the process seemed convoluted at best, so I just hammered out the corner until it was good enough to be functional again.

I tend not to order from Amazon much anymore, and this only strengthens my resolve to order from other retailers.

Below $15, there are no returns in Amazon now.

Everything else, it's either USPS label or pick up at home.

I was talking to a guy at the UPS store and he said amazon told them to bundle all their returns together.

Meaning, 12 customers return stuff, they put all 12 returns in the same box and send it in.

The same goes for any collectibles that you might order. I do collect things like Funko Pops and it's a coin toss whether it will show up in a plastic bag with the Funko box all smash or a cardboard box. Looks like Amazon will have to be taken off the list of places to buy.
