They really need to wrap the books with a piece of butcher paper or something. I keep getting books that slid around and got scuffed to heck by contact with the boxes. Since I have been buying more pricey collection quality books, I have been sending them back :|



Isn't that what the bubble wrap is for? Although they don't fit well in the smaller standard book boxes that Amazon uses...


Well, I didn't see any bubble wrap in that video :) My recent return and its replacement had zero protection between the book and the cardboard.


I've bought two books in a reecent box and they weren't padded either.

I never had any scuffs or damage on the hundreds books I've bought through Amazon though. How bad are the scuffs? My apartment is close to an Amazon outlet factory so it doesn't have to very far to arrive.
