>>last few orders I received from Amazon were horribly packed

I try to interfere with the incompetence. I assume everything is thrown into a box with minimal padding, so only order things to be delivered on a given day that won’t be injured by that technique. Anything that’s very breakable is ordered for delivery on a day when nothing else is coming.

Ordering potato chips with other orders and ordering 3 glass bottles to be delivered the same day taught me well.

For some strange reason, they have never broken a SINGLE glass bottle delivered alone on a day, so I SLOWLY order all the glass bottles that I want, one by one, on no-orders-arriving days.

WE are smarter than them. Don’t give up. Just beat them at their game.

I have 16 glass jars of spaghetti sauce coming, being a long time user of Amazon, I’m wondering what it will look like when it arrives.

I do the same. Select the shipping day for each item that makes it safest. Plus, always use an Amazon box, not just the manufacturers shipping box. That gives a little more degree of padding.
