Had a dented Mean Streets 4K boxset from Amazon . I was gonna send it back . Showed to my sister ,i and she told me to get over myself lol. If it was vinyl i would have.
I would have sent that back Stevie as that's an expensive item!! I suppose your Sister probably not being a collector might not get the gravity of it but yeah I would send anything back that was dented myself Stevie 😊😊 I'm a stickler for perfect vinyl as well bud 😁😁👍👍
I think half the time the damage occurs before they package it up. I've had things that were well packaged but still had damage, so I think it's a case of being mishandled by their employees - perhaps the item was dropped, or not handled with due care, perhaps because they just don't care enough to handle things properly...? I once ordered a copy of The Driver on 4k - it arrived in a well packaged box with plenty of bubble-wrap, but the slip case was badly damaged, creased and dented and the plastic case was broken... And yes, the rest of the time it's completely inappropriate packaging. I order a lot from the US and things arrive in thinly padded paper bags, or at the other end of the scale, a single movie in a large box with little to no padding, rattling and moving around constantly - miraculously undamaged much of the time...
Cheers Jamie 🤩🤩👍👍 yeah I do agree with you there mate!! I had a copy of a Buster Keaton blu Ray this was really damaged and the package didn't look damaged in the way that the case did 😵💫 I think that they damage stuff and stick it in and hope!! Maybe there is a time limit that they have to process these things that might make them rush at a daft rate? 🤔🤔😱😱 either way I think that if they just took more time with it all we would be better off 😁😁👍👍 if I worked in sending stuff off I would hate to use inappropriate packaging in any way!! Thanks for commenting Jamie 🤩🤩👍👍
I'm very reluctant to order anything off the internet now because the delivery is so unreliable. Last month I ordered something and it said delivery time 1pm to 3pm. So I Ieft my front door open from 12.30pm to just make sure he knows I am in the house. Guess what at 1.30pm I get a notification on my phone that he tried to deliver at 1.25pm and he showed a photo of my front door that was closed. A total lie then because the door was open at 12.30pm. Love your rants. Cheers.
What a cheek!! 🤬🤬 did you get any form of apology?? Yeah pure **** take!! 🤬🤬 I love a good winge 🤣🤣 but as soon as I saw that parcel I thought 🤔🤔🤔 this is going to be a video!! 🤣🤣👌👌
Hello John I think Amazon sell things that are by other sellers that’s why the packaging doesn’t have the Amazon logo Hope this helps , great channel btw 👍
Hi Stu 😁😁👍👍 yeah that's a possibility mate 🤔👍 it's a lottery sometimes getting a decent edition of something 😳😵💫😁 thanks for leaving a comment and also thanks for the positive vibes Stu 🤩🤩👍👍
Your lucky there. I bought on Ebay listed as in new condition the LP of the Suspiria Soundtrack by Goblin from the British heart Foundation doing my bit for charity and that. It arrived from Belfast in a plastic eBay bag and that's it...even as bad the sleeve bent out of shape and the record slightly warped. Good job it's for charity or it'd be right back at them. Absolutely brutal. 13:28
Wow that's pretty bad Spectrum Kid 😱😱😱 yeah its hard to ask for stuff back on a charity auction 😵💫😵💫 saying that it's a bit disappointing to think that it would have been treated that way!! 🤯🤯🥴🥴 thanks for watching mate 🤩🤩👍👍
Amazon’s packaging has been awful for a few years now. I do still use them a lot because Prime delivery is really handy, but if its something like a limited edition or a steelbook, I will order it from somewhere else because I don’t trust them to not arrive damaged.
Yeah I agree Philip 😁😁👍👍 Prime is a great thing, but yeah the collectable stuff I really like to get in the shop mate!! Vinyl is risky Philip but if they pack it right it's probably going to get through intact 🤞🤞😁😁👍👍
It's not being picky john I'm actually the same. I like to look after my stuff so it has to arrive in top condition. I would say the one company I have had numerous problems with is music magpie using a bag to send expensive blu rays out.
Yeah Anthony it's not much to ask is it? 🤯 nobody goes into a shop and says "please can you damage that brand new item before I take it home...cheers" 😱😱🤣🤣 yeah Music Magpie have never any respect for their stuff since day 1 Anthony 🥴🥴 cheers for watching mate 😁😁👍👍
I toyed with with the idea of putting a note in the Kin package when I sent it back saying use appropriate packaging! But as if anyone will pass it on, it'll be hoyed in the bin more than likely 🥴🥴🤣🤣👍👍
Same happened to me with the Bruce Lee 4k box set, even after I'd contacted them to package it properly, twice! Luckily only the one replacement. I've seen other collectors choose the giftwrap option when ordering as it seems to be packaged better.
Yeah that Bruce Lee set was a farce 😵💫😵💫 the set was ultra expensive! And they sent it in the most shoddy packaging ever!! 🤬🤬 shouldn't have to choose that option Douvee 🤯🤯 should be included in your postal rate 🤯🤯 glad you got one eventually 😁😁👍👍
Had a similar situation John. Ordered Now Yearbook 1981 on triple vinyl and it arrived in an oversized brown paper bag and it was moving about inside. All 4 corners were scuffed or creased and a large crease across the bottom. Sent it straight back. Replacement turned up in a box similar to yours. I want mine in top condition as well mate, they are not cheap are they? They are damaging a huge amount of stuff they send out, due to poor packaging. I try to go elsewhere online whenever possible. Take care mate, and The Debs. Gaz.
Cheers Gaz 🤩🤩👍👍 thanks for the well wishes for us both 😁😁 same to you mate! 👌👌 yeah joke isn't it!! They must KNOW that these things will bounce back to them 😵💫😵💫🤯🤯 yeah vinyl is an expensive hobby and I've never met a vinyl collector that says, yeah just chuck it a bag, smash it up 👌👌 that'll do me!! 🥴🥴🤣🤣 I like to buy my vinyl in store, so I can pick the best! And why not Gaz 🤔😁👌 but it's funny the second one turned up with the packing it should have had all along 🤯🤯 cheers again Gaz, all the best mate 😁😁👌👌
Good video John. I've been lucky with steel books from Amazon damage-wise, but that's more luck than the quality of packaging. Amazon really are slipping with pre-orders, on release day you can still be waiting, cancel your pre-,order and order again, and get it dispatched immediately, when the pre-order delivery was still estimated days away.
Cheers Ian 🤩🤩👍👍 I know what you mean, it seems very much a luck thing if you get the item in good condition 🤯🤯 I totally agree with you on that one Ian 😳 I really try not to pre order anything from them as I've seen the pre order "delayed" by 2 weeks and as you say cancel it and reorder and boost it will be there next day 😱😱🤣🤣 cheers for watching Ian 🤩🤩👍👍
I can totally relate to your situation there John, hence why I never - never, order anything from Amazon unless I absolutely have to. Quite a few big price boxsets I purchased came in those stupid bubble mailers and the edges were dinged in pretty good. I left a review of how disappointed I was in the packaging on one of them, and Amazon wouldn't accept the review for some stupid reason, and that's when I really had enough. I probably should've contacted them like you did, but my luck I'd have gotten someone trying to give me the run-around and I know I'd have lost my temper had that happened, so maybe I took the higher road in the long run. Nowadays I either buy directly from a label's website or from smaller run family style companies. Glad you were able to get a better copy in the end. Take care my friend, hope you and the Debs are well, and speak to you soon.
Cheers Nash 😁😁👍👍 can't blame you for ditching Amazon mate! I scan their vinyls for a good sale price which does pop up now and again but I'm not going to accept anything less than near mint!! 🤬🤬🤩🤩👍👍 they probably didn't accept the review as they don't want bad press Nash 😱😱 before you used to speak to an advisor and get a run around, these days it's just an instant "send it back we will send a new one" nuts really but hey! They seem not to care about the expense 🥴🥴 yeah buying from the companies themselves is usually the best way Nash!! Cheers bud, we are all well thanks and hope you are too 🤩🤩👍👍
Love the KIN soundtrack and Donuts in particular, listened to that before seeing the film. Had heard bad things but picked up the blu ray brand new for £2 delivered on ebay and quite liked it.
Donuts is the stand out track for me as well mate 🤩🤩👍👍 I've never seen the film, heard not great things about it but I might give it a whirl if I can get it that cheap myself mate 🤔🤩🤩👍👍
Yeah I know Stuart 🤯🤯 it's a joke at times mate, especially when Arrow cut corners, they should know better than anyone that collectors are the ones buying their gear!! Oh well I suppose that's what happens when you farm your shipping out to another company 🤔😵💫😁👍👍
Hi John, another great video. Can you please tell me the name of that place where you recommended to get Multi region players. You told me before but I must have deleted the message. Cheers Andrew 👍
As a physical media collector like yourself - I fully understand John, its so annoying, its not getting any cheaper thats for sure and if you buy it 'new' it should be FULLY in that condition, you might as well source second hand if you are 'OK' with a knock or two.
Exactly Steve 👍👍 if it was on ebay and I saw the damage and was OK with it then that's fine, but when I order new stuff from Amazon I expect brand new, well we all do! Funny that when I sent a message saying that the record and substandard packaging was damaged, the next one turned up in the regulation double box that the other 3 vinyls had come in previously 🤔🤔 but a bit of a joke and if I do order any vinyl from Amazon in the future if its damaged it'll be returned until its "as described" 🤔 cheers Steve 😁😁👍👍
Ahh that would be a great video to make Stuart 🤔🤔🤔 I'm a huge fan of their stuff and it would fun to do!! Computer World is such a great album mate!! 😁😁👍👍
As much as we collectors, like our things perfect. It's not a perfect world And every time somebody sends something back. Because the packaging now grant it. We are collectors, but the packaging is usually not a big deal to most people. And we complain about the price is going up-and-up. This is one of the reasons why. When are we being to anal ps ? Did that corner really affect you listening and enjoying that record
On the other side if you were buying it from HMV would you pick the one with the bent corner? There was still a small crease in the replacement one Ragnar, so I accepted that as I know things might not be perfect, but with the correct packaging for the vinyl it arrived with all corners intact 🤩👍 it didn't affect the listening of it, but it did affect my enjoyment of it 🤔🤩 also if i ever come to sell any of them, the price will be affected by Amazon's buffoonery, so I'm protecting my interests in a way Ragnar 😁😁👍👍

John. I had a delivery from Amazon last week of a 7 inch vinyl box set by a great 90s band called Jellyfish. It was a £60 set. The delivery driver handed it to me not in any packaging at all, the shrink had been ripped off and they had placed the postage label over the hype sticker on the shrink! It beggars belief how anyone thought that would be acceptable. I would say however that most items I have are in great condition
I've got a couple of cds of Jellyfish and I think they are a good band 😊😊👍👍 can't believe that would happen with an expensive collectors item!! 😵💫😵💫🤬🤬 did you get a replacement? It seems like Amazon have to scruples and no one else would hand over garbage to a customer and think you would say cheers that's amazing!! 🤯🤯 thanks for sharing this Whitey 👍👍
That's good mate, but that's 2 items (mine and yours) that need new ones shipped and the old ones processed and the redelivery as well 🤯🤯 kind of a really shoddy system isn't it 🤔😱🤣 never mind at least we got sorted Whitey 😁😁👍👍
Amazon do waste alot of cardboard and packaging. I sometimes buy 2 blu rays together and they end up in different parcels, instead of just the one. So daft
I know Craig!! I sometimes get something like a flash drive in a huge package?? As well in the replacement box I got paper inside, which has never happened before, bit overkill when they didn't need that but hey, if they employed people to oversee packing I'm sure they would save money along the way 🤔😵💫😵💫🤩🤩👍👍
@markpugh6808 yeah sadly it can be, it's just nuts that they almost expect these things to go back to them without them blinking an eye Mark 😵💫😵💫😵💫👍🤩
It's the company that makes Rings of Power, yeah, I think they must love to waste their money!
🤣🤣 Good point whitewolf 🤔🤩🤩 shame that turned out to be kind of mehhh 🥴🤣👍

It beggars belief how anyone thought that would be acceptable. I would say however that most items I have are in great condition
I've got a couple of cds of Jellyfish and I think they are a good band 😊😊👍👍 can't believe that would happen with an expensive collectors item!! 😵💫😵💫🤬🤬 did you get a replacement? It seems like Amazon have to scruples and no one else would hand over garbage to a customer and think you would say cheers that's amazing!! 🤯🤯 thanks for sharing this Whitey 👍👍
@@MondoChelloveckMovies yes. To be fair it was replaced and arrived yesterday, very well packed.
That's good mate, but that's 2 items (mine and yours) that need new ones shipped and the old ones processed and the redelivery as well 🤯🤯 kind of a really shoddy system isn't it 🤔😱🤣 never mind at least we got sorted Whitey 😁😁👍👍
Amazon do waste alot of cardboard and packaging. I sometimes buy 2 blu rays together and they end up in different parcels, instead of just the one. So daft
I know Craig!! I sometimes get something like a flash drive in a huge package?? As well in the replacement box I got paper inside, which has never happened before, bit overkill when they didn't need that but hey, if they employed people to oversee packing I'm sure they would save money along the way 🤔😵💫😵💫🤩🤩👍👍
I only use Amazon when I have to these days. Was always a 50/50 chance on getting something damaged. A collectors worst nightmare 😱
This was a total joke! Cutting corners and loosing money! Yeah great business model Tris 🤯🤯🤣🤣👍👍
Great Video John
Cheers mate, thanks for watching bud 😁😁👍👍
Good video John, Amazon's packaging is terrible especialy as many of us pay a prime subscription.
Yeah their packaging is a joke
Yeah you pay your subscription for postage perks.... the perk is to use substandard packaging? 🤔🤔😵💫😵💫 cheers Mark 👍👍🤩🤩
@markpugh6808 yeah sadly it can be, it's just nuts that they almost expect these things to go back to them without them blinking an eye Mark 😵💫😵💫😵💫👍🤩
