jeans
The jeans are fine, the packaging for shipment was fine. Amazon did publish the retail price in this instance so that I knew what sort of discount I was getting. I have seen a trend with Amazon though where the item, even new, has the retail price deleted so that if their partner vendors are charging a premium, one doesn't immediately know it. I've curtailed buying from Amazon until I'm convinced they won't be doing this any more. They're only response to the issue was to tell me to return the item to the vendor which is a cost to me-time and money-might as well go to a brick and mortar store if I'm going to go through that inconvenience.
