Of course they weren't junk when ordered or picked; they were just turned into it by some lazy individual that thinks you can ship products in .001mil plastic bags regardless of size, weight, or fragility. I've also had items bent over to make them fit into a smaller package.
The total damage has been in the $250-$350 (minimum) range over 3-4 months. Of course these are probably the people don't want to work because the rest of us owe them a living, and they're "over employed" anyway.
I've had items replaced, only to find that they just repeat the process, and I get broken junk again.
The last box I got from amazon said something like "this is a lighter weight box" or something to that effect on the side. The translation is, Amazon is saving money on cheaper, less durable, easily damaged shipping containers while charging people more because Lil'Jeffy needs the cash I guess.
In comparison, I've had packages show up from London, Czech republic, etc. faster, cheaper, and much better protected. The London shipment was ordered on last Monday and delivered on Wednesday. The Czech order was delivered faster, cheaper, and better protected than Amazon's multiple efforts for the same product (broken both times).
I was agreeing with you until you started pompously shaming low wage Amazon workers.

I don't judge people based on monetary standards, what kind of car they drive, or where they live. As most learn, income and/or earning a "low wage" means nothing in reality. Income, or "Financial success" is ultimately an ignorant and shallow way to judge people or determine someone's worth and value to society.
However, careless, uncaring, inattentive, deliberate and repeated stupid decision making, especially when packing fragile things in plastic bags means everything. These decisions are made when shipping; these decisions are not "mistakes". I don't appreciate receiving damaged goods, especially when they're time sensitive, irreplaceable, or because someone is too lazy to pack it properly and put it in a box. And yes, some of those decisions may have been made by "over minimum wage" managers telling the workers to save on shipping costs.
Bottom line is that if you don't like your job, then leave and find something you do like. Most of us have worked in jobs we didn't like, but doing a poor job on purpose because you don't like the work says nothing about the job, but it says everything about you.

Go outside.
Just received a SteelBook order today. Big dent on the front. Thrown into a poly bag with no protection. Don't they have enough data to modify SB shipping policy?
They just don't seem to care. I try to order a bunch of stuff, hoping it will get packaged better but that doesn't work anymore.
