TL;DR Amazon wants "Zero Packaging" which is their way of saying they want suppliers to pay for packaging, and every product should be manufactured for eCommerce consumption. Unfortunately: - Most manufacturers cannot afford dual stock (retail packaging and eCommerce packaging) - Most manufacturers cannot afford employees onhand to repackage each eCommerce order For now this hurts the consumer. Soon eCommerce packaging will be table stakes.
