Amazon, again.

I realize I'm quoting from weeks ago and I said this in another thread, but: Amazon has been sending me oil filters in the plastic envelopes via UPS.
We all know oil filter boxes are very thin, so by the time they get to me the filter has torn through or worn through the box, and on two occasions the top (dome) was dented.
These are not padded envelopes and they're not Tyvek -- they're almost more like a thick trash bag but white.
Point being, UPS ain't the problem here but they're no better.
Both times Amazon wants the old filter back. I understand the potential for customer abuse but what good is a dented filter to them? And for a woke company, they're sure burning fossil fuels just to ship defective merchandise around the country.
Amazon has started down the pathway of “enshittification” or platform decay. This sort of explains why Amazon used to be great for consumers but is increasingly worse to use.

Amazon sued by FTC and 17 states over allegations it inflates online prices and overcharges sellers
The Federal Trade Commission and 17 state attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon. They allege the e-commerce behemoth uses its position in the marketplace to inflate prices on and off Amazon, overcharge sellers and stifle competition.

Thanks for posting this article.. I always wonder why I'm having to research further and differently to find products on Amazon. It's their search engine, makes sense.. But now I know what was causing it, really thanks!Amazon has started down the pathway of “enshittification” or platform decay.

We could never sell on Amazon.
TOO expensive and real excrementshow. Those articles above nail it.
That said, I'm sure the .gov will make it.....................worse.

Fake items would be my main concern buying auto parts on Amazon. They aggregate the inventories together when different sellers sell the same things, so you can buy from a legit seller and get the fake item from a scammer, or the other way around if you are lucky. So basically anything that has fake stuff out there I would prefer not to buy from Amazon, but rather the online site of a real company (Best Buy, Rock Auto, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, etc).
Problem about packaging? Just claim damage and ask them to ship it out again. Amazon's customer service are usually pretty good if you chat with a live agent, and if the seller sent me a different item and refuse full refund or free return shipping, I pretty much always get Amazon's CS to reimburse me back. Amazon do usually ship out the replacement pretty fast if it is damaged in transit to me.

Have you installed it yet? Wondering how you like the LubeLocker.
Also, don't forget limited slip additive. It definitely has one. The truck had the window sticker in the glove box folded up but the detailer that I had detail the truck threw it away, I was irritated when I noticed it was gone.
I have bought 10's of thousands from Amazon and everything returned mas my fault. So many people hate them for some reason unknown and unexperienced by me.

No fuss no muss Nick, sealed the first shot with no sealant. Will use one for the tranny pan as well. Lube Locker claims they can be reused.
I still think it is the seller's fault. Envelope should not be used on items that can be damaged if "bent". If the manufacturer said it is ok then it might be fine but if they aren't they probably should use a rigid box to begin with.
I'd take a photo and ask the manufacturer to see if it is ok or not, either way would sleep better.
If one feels resistance while bending the envelope, they probably shouldn’t bend it.
