I ordered an Eton Field Elite receiver via Amazon Warehouse. Someone there decided to ship an electronics item - a radio with an LED/LCD display - in a plastic bag! There was no box, ZERO padding or protection, not even bubble wrap. We actually heard it arrive and we literally jumped in our chairs due to a loud crashing sound - the sound of the Amazon driver dropping the plastic envelope containing the radio on our tile front walkway. It survived, with dents and many scratches. Unbelievable! smh

@croyle i ordered a butter dish on amazon that came in totally inadequate packaging and was conveniently pre-smashed so i didn't have to break it myself. sent it back and the replacement had the same packaging, and, shock, also smashed on delivery.

@vitriolix Sometimes they make perplexing decisions when packaging. I wonder whether it's an employee that just doesn't care, or one that is too rushed by Amazon to care, or maybe the employee has brain damage or something... I once had them deliver a glass jar of jam in a similar unpadded plastic envelope, and to my non-surprise it arrived shattered into fragments.

@croyle I would out money on pressure from Amazon leading to poor decisions
