Amazon's own shipping is at least as responsible as the returns, since it's often the root cause of the return in the first place.

The only time I get a record in a padded mailer is when it is shipped from the US. I always get them in a box or mailer. Though often the box is just the record and a few air baggies. I am lucky in that I live very close to their main Ontario station, so the item is in a box often less than 24hrs.

Yea--I've seen some horror stories but have mostly been lucky with them. I have had one instance of bad shipping from Amazon and it was a warehouse purchase. I got a Courtney Barnett record and they literally slapped a shipping label on the shrink wrap of the record and put it in the mail hah. Otherwise, I usually get the record mailer inside of a bigger box.

This happened to me a couple weeks back. I ordered a copy of the Gin Blossoms' Congratulations I'm Sorry and the box arrived with a second sealed mailer that had "Congratulations I'm Sorry" on an address label on it (which I found strange from Amazon). Opened it up and it was a not great looking copy of Marvin Gaye's In Our Lifetime. Chatted with Amazon and they wanted me to drop it off at a UPS store before they would mail a replacement; I told them that was inconvenient and they wouldn't schedule pick up so we fought for a bit and they just sent a replacement. I then had to do a second customer service chat because they charged me for the replacement as well.

I'll echo this. Admittedly, it's rare, but we all know Amazon really isn't checking these returns and I am stunned it doesn't happen more often. I think I got some Yungblud live album instead of a Joan Jett Warehouse record I ordered. I know anything I've returned could have been substituted with something less good in my collection and I'd probably get the refund from it, especially if I opt for credit over cash.

No one has posted this yet? John Prine-Fair and Square (Irish Edition) going super fast:
Every experience ordering vinyl from Amazon over the past year was a negative one for me: either wrong item, damaged item, no shipping padding, no shipping box, shipped in a paper envelope, hassled returns, package hurled at my porch like a frisbee by an Amazon delivery person, or swindling third party sellers who create a label but don't ship the item. I just stopped buying vinyl from them completely a few months ago after repeated examples of them giving zero f***s.

I'm in the same boat. I made exceptions a few times for great deals but they canceled all five orders of mine in the last month, so f'em.
from sleigh bells site
According to Reddit this one has $13 shipping, which puts it closer to Newbury price. After taxes and shipping newbury was like $40.30. I went with newbury because I like the color and I would assume their CS would be better than sleigh bells webstore in case something goes wrong

Judging by this terminology I am guessing there will be an indie exclusive.
