The sellers who are not long time record dealers most likely have no employee who cares about the product they are selling. All they do is send the item. What it looks like is (to them) not their problem.
The solution is to avoid such vendors in the future.
In the past, like five, six years ago, I was buying records from Amazon private vendors, and the Lps arrived well packaged and perfect. (fair prices too)
I would think with the rise of vinyl as a 'new fad' (please do not excoriate me, just for the use of fad), also find the rise of vendors who are just feeding on the fad, instead of service to long time music lovers. New to the vinyl scene folks may just accept whatever they get tossed at them. The sellers have no time for complaints. they have too many 'satisfied with dreck' buyers to worry.
Sorry for your issue with the records. But Maybe letting everyone know the inferior seller store name would be of use?
