You have to beat them at their game. Our books come 2 or 3 at a time in well packed boxes.

A very feeble grade of cardboard is used to ship heavy items. Comments regarding poor packaging are ignored. Last week’s box had split apart and been braced with plastic straps to continue its journey; several cans of cat food had traveled on separately to oblivion. This is all within the U.S. We did receive a refund for the missing cat food. My, you seem to have touched a nerve here! <br />P.S. Those are wonderful photos of Sophie. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13204127165550190242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-23546513613404240882017-05-13T21:29:22.086+02:002017-05-13T21:29:22.086+02:00Perhaps collar doves are good for rehabilitation! ...Perhaps collar doves are good for rehabilitation! I've ever had any problems with Amazon (US) here in Oz, though I tend to go for ebooks now--bookshelves being overloaded. Love having lots of books to choose from, and get a bit frantic if I find I've only got one left. Was the box labelled 'FRAGILE'! That usually encourages rough treatment.Bella Roxy & Macduihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268052368797347239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-16357057107649388672017-05-13T18:51:15.534+02:002017-05-13T18:51:15.534+02:00We've had decent delivery service from Amazon ...We've had decent delivery service from Amazon -- do your orders come from the US or the UK?

The largest item we've ever ordered, so far, was a carpet cleaner which arrived in pristine condition, box undamaged. I wonder if something happens to your books once they arrive this side of the channel?
