Amazon Ships Records in Plastic Now

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. 

“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.

Just received 2 albums from Amazon this week and they were in cardboard album packaging.  

It happened to me again yesterday. I received one lp in a plastic/padded bag and two lps in their own cardboard mailers inside a bigger box. This has only happened when I'm on Prime.

Yeah - they're a bunch of goofballs.
