JPC.DE poor packing of packages
Handel8
quality of packing of packages from JPC.DE in Germany. I live in the
Northeastern part of the USA and have ordered from JPC a few times over
the last 18 months. I find the packages are invaribly very poorly
packed. I have gotten large packages that are broken open at the
corners and almost completely open when I get them.
Well now it has happened: I got a small shipment today where the
cardboard container was not sealed on the short ends- just tucked in !!
When I got the package from the post office, the two short ends were
completely open and sure enough- I am missing two single cds in the
order. This is pretty incredible. Of all the sellers and dealers I
get shipments from in the mail, JPC has consistently had the worst and
scariest packing by far-not even close !!
I have emailed JPC fro replacements, so we will see what happens.

Always. I don't mind cracked cases so much as I've bazillions of them, but
losing CDs is another matter. I've complained to them a couple of times.
Something in betwee JPC's and BRO's packaging (you practically need a
hacksaw or a bomb to get them open) would be ideal.

I ordered from them once. Love the prices, but the package was very
scary--it had busted open in transit and some kind soul in the US Post
Office had bound the whole flimsy thing together with plastic twine.
I'm still amazed nothing was lost. I am afraid to order again.
My latest package from Massachusetts, on the other hand, not only
lovingly placed everything in a sturdy box wrapped and reinforced again
with a titanium like brown tape, but the inside featured another shell
of a cardboard box AND each CD was individually wrapped and taped
together with a combination of plastic sheath and thick newspaper. Now,
only the Japanese, who would find a way to make this fit in a package
half this size shaped like a swan, with only colorful gold-leafed
hand-made paper products cushioned by fragrant cherry blossoms and
bound by silk bows, might top that.

Too bad that the fine engineering standards of Germany's auto industry
doesn't extend to JPC's shipping department. Do you think these flimsy
packages are the work of one malcontent guy, perhaps?

in one of their shipments, he received a box of empty jewel cases. Go
figure.

(Tishchenko's sym & ballet, and Koroliov's Debussy Preludes). Each time
the discs were packaged in very thin cardboard without any protective
foam or wrapping inside. No cracks or open packacing, but either one
easily could have happened.
For great packing & wrapping, try Japan, especially CD Japan. As
someone else here mentioned, it's better than most Christmas wrapping.

No more persecution of Wayne Reimer from all those nasty para-military
American secret units with their black helicopters and the other
infernal paraphernalia.
Good. Just a couple more pounds of Prozac and things will start looking
up for Wayne.

open, and one of the plastic straps had come off. They use lots of foam
peanuts, but I think these let the items move around too much. One of the
cap boxes was pretty dinged up, and at least one jewel box was pretty busted
up. BRO's wadded newspaper packing works better.
Maybe they are expecting more gentle handling?
Overall, though, I'm very happy with their service and will keep ordering
from them.

I must now defend Wayne Reimer (strange though that may seem), and Alan
Prichard as well. Isn't it legitimate to expect that a purchase be sent in
packaging adequate to make the trip? Especially at THOSE shipping rates?

Welcome to the club! I got my share of bad packing from JPC though
fortunately I never got a missing item.

I think what Samir was trying to say is that we shouldn't worry about these
kinds of trivialities when we have Mad King Bush to worry about.

Oh yes, oh yes. Lots of broken jewel cases, but no CDs ever actually
destroyed or missing.
I did once tell them nicely about the broken jewel cases and they kindly
sent me replacements. These arrived - you guessed it - broken...

I have the same problem with hmv.co.jp, where they send things around the
world in the soft Fedex envelopes and inevitably arrive mostly broken. But
they are very accommodating and have on several occasions put a credit on my
account to be used toward my next purchase, so I can't complain too much.
