Query: Battery is great but Amazon's shipping sucks! Please read...

I'm a huge fan of Amazon.com, however there shipping methods have proven to not be so great. Today things were taken to another level, when an Optima battery I purchased from them started leaking out bubbling battery acid when I began to charge it to prepare it for installation. Thank goodness this happened on the floor of the shop and not in the car. Their idea of properly shipping a battery involves slapping a shipping label on the side of it. Zero packaging, no box, nothing. After calling Optima they told me that this has happened before with Amazon. I called Amazon and they promptly issued me a full refund but that still left me with no battery. I needed a model 25 redtop and after calling around a bit on the forth call I located a 25/75 model that would do the trick. Completed the installation with the new battery and it works like a charm.Great battery, just don't order it from Amazon.
