i've had previous good experiences with sandbag. and with every distributor NIN has used in the past.
Im not arguing with you, but I'm at about 50% success rate with amazon.
sending a 7" record in a 14x20" or so size box frequently is not ok, especially with no padding or protection or in a padded mailer.
music on vinyl (label) has never been shipped correctly. Lakeshore arrives months late if at all even if preordered
PHM remaster was ruined, ghosts was so warped it was almost comedic
or god forbid they combine your order of a record with a cast iron skillet. That happened when my preorder shipped with a current order.
Other times, records arrive boxed in a mailer within a larger box.
