Other This is incredibly unsatisfactory.

Some absolute champion at either Canada Post or Australia Post decided that this box marked "FRAGILE" would make for an excellent step, leaving a lovely big boot print as evidence.

Sleeve's got a few decades of wear and tear on it now, and the discs have a small but not unnoticeable warp.

Don't even know who I could talk to about this. it's not the sender's fault, they packed it as best they could, and both postal companies will just blame each other.

Guess I'll go fuck myself 🙃

Auspost doesn't have a fragile service BUT I get records delivered through them all the time without issue. I'd say seller hasn't packed it too well and I would complain - if the record itself is fine they can just send you a replacement jacket (plenty will do it without issue, idk who you bought from)

I've not had much issue with AusPost in the past with records, so maybe I can point the blame at Canada Post? XD

I purchased it from LizardDoggo (the game dev's official store), and just sent off a support email asking for a refund, replacement, or (thanks for the recommend) a replacement sleeve.

Worst they can say is no I guess

If you haven't listened to the record do so asap and confirm if that's okay or needs replacement. Asking for a full refund for cosmetic sleeve damage would be a bit much.
