Amazon packed a bag of fragile cookies in the same box as a 10-pound container of cat litter. Well, I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Amazon once packed my new Paperwhite in a box with an 18 pound bag of kitty litter - with no padding. The e-reader actually survived and is still working.

A few months ago Amazon packed a 2.4 bag of almonds with a Frank Sinatra CD (jewel box) and the box has a crack across it. Now I won't order a CD in the same order as almonds.

I have very little grip strength and keep locking pliers in the kitchen just to get the caps off bottles.
Unfortunately the pill bottle was one of those 'push down and turn' type caps. I forgot to ask the pharmacist to swap it to another container. |

I did that for my wife so she didn't have to deal with them. I did that once time when I went to pick up her meds for her.
