>>5508710I've actually had the same problems that guy, here
>>5508683It is ridiculous how they ship books. I've ordered plenty of hardcover artbooks/collector's books, etc, and nearly every time, they come to me with spine damage, or fucked up corners.
The problem is that they can't even put them into a proper box. They ship them with a flat piece of cardboard wrapped around the book, and nothing else. No padding, no extra layers for protection. Nothing. Then again, I've ordered shit from Barnes and Noble (including actual boxed action figures) and gotten the same results from them: A thin, flat piece of cardboard wrapped around my items, resulting in damage.
And one time I ordered a brand new, carded figure off of Amazon, and was confused when I received a box that was maybe 2/3 the size of the figure's package. Originally, I thought maybe the fuckup was on my end, and I accidentally ordered a used version of the figure, without packaging.
When I opened the box, sure enough, it was the carded figure I ordered, except the card was smashed and folded to fuck, and the bubble was crushed to hell in order to get it into the too-tiny box.
The books I could begrudgingly write off as being damaged in transit, but when they purposefully crush my item into a way too small box, that's just fucking ridiculous and unacceptable on their part.
