I got my silver white edition of the vinyl in the mail today from Amazon and was super upset when I opened the Amazon packaging to see it haphazardly packaged and shipped in just a big box without any protection.
I know vinyl shopping is a hit or miss when it comes to Amazon due to packaging. About 15% of my vinyl collection is from Amazon and they were fine with the exception of Le Sserafim’s vinyl. All other times, my vinyls from Amazon were shipped with double packaging where the vinyl was packaged with a strong cardboard so that they don’t get bent.
I’m extremely upset and frustrated as I was really looking forward to opening this vinyl today and playing it. I don’t know if the blame is on the Amazon warehouse or Source Music, because the vinyl cover doesn’t look that sturdy and I can see how it can be prone to creases especially with international shipping.
My current plan is to just keep this vinyl unopened and order another one(when it’s back in stock) and hope that gets shipped properly before my return date of Oct 7 with the current one.
Just wanted to share my frustration and check if any other vinyl buyers experienced this… Thank you!
Edit: after seeing another post, I realized that Amazon sent me the wrong version. I received the black instead of the white https://www.reddit.com/r/lesserafim/s/BuFKxdW1xd

The cover is pretty standard for a vinyl album, amazon doesn’t know/care how to pack vinyl. You will be better of ordering from a specialised music/vinyl retailer since they will use proper vinyl mailers.
You should definitely ask for a replacement just for the fact that they send you the wrong version.
