It's so odd - sometimes their packaging is fine, so it really seems to depending on the person doing the packing. Having said said, all of my Oz Amazon purchases seem to come in an oversized padded envelope - it often annoys me!

If you're unlucky enough to order an item that is despatched from Europe, they seem to have abandoned the box altogether and just put it in an Amazon envelope - and not even a padded envelope. My last Stones order arrived in worse condition than Keith.

Amazon Australia seems to be having problems with products coming out of Sydney, stuff I have ordered a week ago still have not been shipped. Melbourne sourced goods are being delivered in 2-3 days.
Being in Adelaide I'm used to anything taking a good week to arrive from either Melbourne or Sydney. Especially nauseating is when you see a package go from LA to Sydney in 4 days, and then it takes a further week and a half to get from Sydney to Adelaide.
