Candace Owens accuses Amazon of damaging her new book: ‘This is unacceptable’
New York Post ^ | September 19, 2020 | Kathianne Boniello

Amazon workers really left their mark on conservative pundit Candace Owens‘ new book — including in Vaseline, she claims.

The outspoken Owens took to Twitter to accuse the retail giant’s employees of damaging her tome, “Blackout.”

“Dear @amazon. About 1,000 people have written to let me know that your employees appear to be stomping on and in this case, smearing Vaseline on my books before mailing them. I know it must have pained you to ship out all 90,000 copies you had in stock— but this is unacceptable,” she wrote Saturday afternoon.

I remember when I ordered a MAGA hat from the RNC, and the package arrived with a big stomp on it. Fortunately, the hat is flexible and incurred no damage.

In the meantime, keep it as reminder of the Left’s lunacy.

Looks like Amazon will pay for another 90,000 copy run.

This week I ordered a book by a different conservative author which came with a hole in the box. At first I chalked it up to the post office, but after reading this I’m suspicious.

We’ve all heard that Amazon employees don’t even have time to take a leak. How could they find time to do this vandalism?

Wonder why no one has built a Made-in USA version of Amazon, where small businesses all across the U.S. can have a page and sell their items from an Amazon-like site.

I don’t order political books, but have had many packages from Amazon that have arrived damaged, dented, and with holes. I think it’s just shitty service from either Amazon, or the post office. In Candice’s case, those books were clearly damaged before they went into the package.

You're right. There's no way Amazon packers would be able to do this. They have conveyer belts of orders coming at them. They have a minute or less to package a book - pull down the correct-sized bookfold, insert the book and packing slip, seal it and slap the label on. They would have no time to spread Vaseline, plus they'd risk getting it on subsequent packages.

I hardly order anything anymore from Amazon. Not only are most items overpriced, but there is no guarantee that you will actually get what you ordered due to the way they run their logistics.

I've been ordering more online from Walmart, so far it has been a good experience.

Also found out that Dollar Tree has a great online shopping experience. They offer free delivery if you pick up at the store! Great for arts and craft stuff as it's so cheap - only bad part is that it's easy to order too much!

Walmart.com and Target.com are now online marketplace hosts.

It has long been a visionvof mine to open up chain of stores dedicated solely to products made in the USA, each one vetted for quality and authenticity. “Need a vaccuum clear? We offer ONE, and it is the best one made in the USA. Sucks better than an Electrolux.”

Mike Lindell is doing a small version of that.

Etsy does some of that, but not on all kinds of merchandise.

I don't like Amazon for many reasons, but they sell lots of conservative books and nothing like this has been reported before. I don't know much about how Amazon opens boxes of merchandise to stock bins - I suppose it could be possible for an Amazon employee to stomp on books but it seems like it would be very hard to do without being detected.

If there are books with shoe prints on them, I think it's more likely that the packing people at the printers did it. The books would have been shipped to Amazon from the printer. I can see Amazon employees not noticing the damage or not caring.

Vaseline on the books doesn't make sense to me. As I said earlier, the packers would't have time to do it, and if the books had been greased up earlier, it would have been reported because of the problem of transfer to other products and getting it on the conveyer belt.
