See box that looks like it’s 3/4 ripped in half from stacking damage:
“Looks good to me, send it off.”
Ended up ordering it from Phillips for cheaper on sale, turns out it’s not too hard to avoid Amazon altogether and a bonus for the company’s reputation being important to the ones picking/packaging the product. Hard to blame the Amazon worker though, they don’t get paid enough to care.

My guess an employee might not have ever even seen it. Amazon uses a fleet of robots now for all manor of things in their warehouses.
Semi-related story but not Amazon…this was a Circuit City to show how long ago it was. I bought a Blu-ray player(one of the first that wasn’t $1K) there and got home with it. Box was perfect with factory sealed tape applied. Crack it open and while the player was in the box it was utterly crushed. I’m talking outer casing of the player in shattered pieces. The metal frame under the outer casing was bent and mangled. It literally looked like it was ran over with a forklift. Then packaged nice and neatly. The styrofoam wasn’t even cracked and all the accessories were there in plastic wrap. So something clearly went very wrong here. The really odd part was it looked like all the pieces of broken bits made it into the box. Swapped it out with no issues back at the store. Luckily never experienced anything like that again…
did you consider someone sending you that intentionaly with the hope that the outside box reaches you in not pristine condition and you ust blame the dispatcher?
Would be nice if that community didn’t just post “Bezos bad” and actually gave tips on reducing Amazon use, but it’s a newer comm with little traction…
Edit: Some of y’all missed the point lol. I don’t use Amazon, but it makes it extremely hard to find shit that isn’t being sold in stores near me. How about promoting other websites/ways to get things, rather than preaching about Bezos being evil. I know he’s evil, it’s why I don’t use Amazon, but TEACH people where else they can go.
It’s the equivalent of going “Sex is bad kids” but then not actually teaching safe sex, condom use, STIs, etc.
don’t shop on amazon
you don’t need a community for that
The community is called “de-amazon”. It’s fine to say “bezos bad” but there’s plenty that the community could do beyond that.
Amazon and brick-and-mortar big box stores killed a lot of small businesses, and now online shopping is the only way to go for a lot of items, especially niche stuff.
Here are some ideas for actual useful posts in a community called “de-amazon”:

But who cares about community and information-sharing anyway.
Be the change you want to see in the world ❤️. I usually shop at thrift stores and locally sourced bidding websites (Macbids - PA and OH). I’ve also purchased from EarthHero which is online store for environmentally conscious brands.
Plastic bad. Now stop using it. You figure it out.
oui
Just use Amazon less, is Jeff using your computer
Hard to blame the Amazon worker though, they don’t get paid enough to care.
That’s where you’re wrong. If they don’t get paid enough to care, they need to find employment somewhere that they’ll actually do the job they’re being paid to do.
That’s not how finding jobs work. You can’t just magically get a better one, much less in this economy. Instead, they should unionize collectively and fight Amazon for better pay
