If you have a look at the Steve Hoffmann Forum there are threads full of this kind of thing. Amazon clearly don't have a proper policy in place. I've only bought 1 or 2 imports from Amazon, weird really I never look even for CD prices. Must make a note to start looking.
Would you not use Discogs for something like this?
Airhead-
Frankly I don't care what they wrap the corrugated fiberboard thing in, as long as they use one of these.
I like to get stuff from Discogs or local classifieds etc. but some albums are just really cheap on amazon - like a new, limited edition Kind of Blue in blue vinyl for €16,- including shipping..

Haha, think I jinxed it now.. another album I ordered came without the corrugated thing now (just in a plastic bag, with no padding whatsoever), surprisingly it still looks very good, just one corner is a little bumped.
It's a 2LP gatefold one, maybe they don't have corrugated wraps that fit those? Or it's just bad luck..

I did check the "ship in amazon packaging" box with three seperate vinyl orders lately.
All three LPs came in a cardboard thingee like you see below. It didn't reveal anything; well it was just blank cardboard all around and a tiny sticker which said what record was actually inside.
Those three carboard things were all inside other packaging:
All three records were brand new and plastic wrapped and absolutely mint.
