Great. I’ve just returned a WD drive to Amazon after it arrived crushed in a torn-open paper bag. The replacement arrived also in a paper bag and went straight back, this time for a refund. I guess I should have kept that one and hoped for

Why is this issue not caught by regulators? There must be something I don’t know about how that kind of regulatory approval happens.
