I think I had a thread about this before, but it's probably gone.
What I don't get is why the packaging of things you order online is always so bad. Whether it's from big companies or smaller sellers the problem I have is always the same:
Whenever I buy something that is made of cardboard, like a cardboard cd or dvd-sleeve or book, they put it in a bubble enveloppe. However, whether it's within my own country or from abroad, it always arrives with the corners dented.
Every slipcase or cardboard packaging (like dvd boxsets) arrives with the corners damaged as a rule.
Just ordered a German blu-ray of 'Four Flies on Grey Velvet' (a rare Argento film), which is pricey (close to 40 euro) and again the corners are dented. This is from a small seller, so probably he might become difficult about replacing it.
But even while these are obviously only sleeves and covers and you can still use the product, I just don't get why this doesn't improve. A lot of people are collectors and you want things to be undamaged and in good condition - especially when it's just new.
Do a lot of people not care about the things they order always arrive dented and that's why the stores don't improve their packaging?
I don't know if this is better in the US or elsewhere, but where I live (The Netherlands, Europe), I ALWAYS keep running into this problem and it just doesn't improve.
