You'd think by now it would have sunk in to use a proper card mailer. One of the many reasons I've abandoned lps. Got sick of the lottery every time a parcel arrived.

Amazon US have normally been very good, double boxed and DHL delivery within a week.
Hope this isn't going to be their new standard packaging.
Refund on the way.

Arghhhhhh
I've had bad packing from Mondo, Rarewaves but not Amazon.
How did you get DHL delivery ?
My recent Amazon US stuff has been through Aramex - awful !

Not sure why DHL delivered it.
It was bought with normal shipping rate from Amazon direct, not a third party seller, as one of 9 LPs and was delayed. The rest were delivered in September. Maybe that's why they shipped it via DHL.

My latest Amazon US orders have come via Fastway Couriers.
Amazon seem to have changed their policy and now require items to be sent back, even if it costs them more than what its worth. They even sent DHL to pick it up from my home.
Just got an Amazon package with no LP in it. Thought the box was a bit light...

Oh dear, I've not had good experiences in the past with Fastway, worst of a bad bunch IMO.

Yes, one extreme to the other. DHL have always been good for me and fast. Last one arrived 4 days after ordering from US!
Aramex has always been troublesome.
Luckily I only use Amazon for less than 5% of my vinyl purchases.

Hmmm... that's a new twist, sending LP and box separately !

Contacted customer services and straight away they ordered me another copy with "one day delivery", which means I should have it within a week.
