Question

Does Amazon have a plan to reduce the amount of plastic used? Is it necessary to put small items in large bubble envelopes?

Community Answer

When they ship items, they want to make sure that nothing happens to your item order. Its best to place small items in large bubble envelopes to ensure the best protection. Maybe send an email requesting they consider using plastic made from recycled products.

Question

Why is it so insanely hard to report packaging damage without returning or replacing the item? Amazon used to be better. The bot just gives me the runaround, no real options and no way out.

Community Answer

Reporting packaging damage without the need to return or replace the item can be challenging on platforms like Amazon. In the past Amazon may have provided better options for addressing this issue. Users can encounter difficulties when attempting to report packaging damage through automated systems or bots. The present experience typically involves encountering a bot that leads users in circles without providing satisfactory resolutions or viable alternatives. Unfortunately, there may be no straightforward way to resolve the problem or escape the automated loop.

Question

Why does Amazon use such a large, wasteful amount of packaging for small packages? I received a small box with a watch strap in it. It was in a bigger box with lots of scrunched up brown paper!
