    My guess an employee might not have ever even seen it. Amazon uses a fleet of robots now for all manor of things in their warehouses.

    Semi-related story but not Amazon…this was a Circuit City to show how long ago it was. I bought a Blu-ray player(one of the first that wasn’t $1K) there and got home with it. Box was perfect with factory sealed tape applied. Crack it open and while the player was in the box it was utterly crushed. I’m talking outer casing of the player in shattered pieces. The metal frame under the outer casing was bent and mangled. It literally looked like it was ran over with a forklift. Then packaged nice and neatly. The styrofoam wasn’t even cracked and all the accessories were there in plastic wrap. So something clearly went very wrong here. The really odd part was it looked like all the pieces of broken bits made it into the box. Swapped it out with no issues back at the store. Luckily never experienced anything like that again…
