rough edges

I've started to buy the odd vinyl record from Amazon Canada, and have been frustrated with their poor packaging. I don't understand how they can be so stupid; it's not as if they lack shipping experience...
The last three shipments have all incurred damage, because the records were allowed to fly around inside a box that is way too big for the job. The box that the records are shipped in is 20"x14". Oh yeah, there were a couple of those beer can sized air packs in the box, but they are basically useless. Occasionally, Amazon Canada will use a separate protective cardboard jacket for a record, but other records in the same package don't have them. They are the ones that get damaged. I can't see how they can go on doing this. I've returned items from the last three shipments, all due to insufficient packaging.
Is Amazon UK doing the same piss poor job of packing records for shipment? Or is this just a Canuck thing?
I'll take this up with Amazon customer service once I know whether it's just a problem with Amazon Canada, or not.
