I was after 3 glass jars of MILD Indian butter chicken sauce, not available at any Asian or American grocery around here. I do extensive taste tests on all brands of any new something or other, and then become fixated on our top choice.

They came all packed loose together. Not good.

What IS good is Amazon refund policies.

I’ve come to assume brain dead packers and take the cost hit on buying one by one when it MUST be Amazon and it IS fragile.

Best of luck with your 16 jars. I’d cross my fingers for you but touch typist here. Let me know how it goes.

I’ve seen it all with their and Walmart’s shipping, one never knows, until it arrives.

It does seem to me though that in recent years the ridiculous and massive catastrophic packing debacles are getting more rare.

For example 2 extra large glass jars of sauce, heavy canned foods like a case of canned stew, 20 loose cans of soda pop and a 5 pound bag of flour, loose cans of vegetables and other items all thrown together loosely into a very oversized box, that was quite a box to open after it crossing the country.

“What IS good is Amazon refund policies.”

Except it is only 30 days now.

If you can find the same item and then is typically the same price, Walmart still has a 90 day return window. And you can either ship it back for free or take it to the store.

I tried to give Amazon as little of my money as I can since they are becoming the monopoly. They still get quite a bit, however. But I did try to spread it out to other businesses.

I have used Amazon for many years. Nothing has arrived broken yet.
ps
I love Amazon but hate Jeff Bezos.
