SMDH…

It's easier if I present this in reverse order…

The CD itself…
Wrapped in plain brown paper and sealed with the seller's seal…
The CD, wrapped in brown paper and sealed, wrapped in bubble wrap…
The CD, wrapped in brown paper and sealed, wrapped in bubble wrap and wedged between two pieces of cardboard (not shown) and two pieces of 3/4" thick styrofoam, bundled together with rubber bands…
And the entire thing, sealed with a kiss and shipped in a recycled padded Amazon mailing bag.

Having bought and sold enough CDs online, I know that occastionally the shipping company/USPS handles them a bit roughly and they arrive with the splines in the jewel cases broken off. That certainly did not happen in this case, but still…

P.S. You couldn't have bent this thing if you tried!

Considering the amount of waste this one CD generated, I can't help but wonder if the seller works at Amazon.

And in case you're curious…

  1. Thank you so, so much Mark, for sharing these with us. You made my day better.
    Since the moment I decided to follow your posts I have known that, beyond witty cynic, there was first and foremost a man who values beauty, no sense appart.
