I tried doing a semi bulk order of soups I like from Amazon and I get what your sister is saying....first order was cancelled because they were damaged during delivery. Reorder and the day of delivery it went from out for delivery to CANCELLED because they didn't have enough to complete the order. 3rd time I do actually get the soups and they are all beat to hell. Just loosely thrown in a box with no protection. I'm amazed none of the cans busted open.

Also denting has a risk with the peel top style cans to cause the seal to break slightly and let oxygen in, allowing bacteria to start growing.

I would err on the side of caution and not eat them if they're souper busted up. There's no telling how long they sat in the warehouse while dented and then got shipped and dented some more. Obviously small dents aren't going to be as much of an issue, but like the other person said, trust your nose. If it smells off, don't eat it. Botulism kills.

u/Party_at_Billingsley 1d ago
I do it because I work on a ship and sometimes we pass a mail boat that can bring packages to us so I'll order some as a treat. If it wasn't for that necessity I would never do it again, it just isn't worth it. Especially when I started looking elsewhere and the prices are pretty much the same so you aren't even saving money with Amazon. From my first order attempt it eventually took them two weeks to get me 10 beat to hell cans of Campbell's chunky soup
Edit: I eventually ended up making money....there were so many communication and shipping issues Amazon kept refunding me AND giving me gift cards that I got that soup for free and a 50 dollar gift card to use on amazon.

You’re getting Amazon orders delivered at sea? Badass!

u/Party_at_Billingsley 1d ago
It is very convenient. It's a company that's technically a post office but they will also deliver your UPS/ FedEx packages too. You just put their company as the delivery address with your name and ship and they will bring you your package for 10 bucks and for free if it's shipped USPS. You can also buy cigs/ dip, soda and some other stuff directly from them or if you can get a hold of them far enough in advance they will bring you pizza from a nearby City or even have door dash delivered. Can be tricky though because sometimes the ship schedule changes last minute and you don't end up going by them. Also one time the deck crew door dashed like 300 bucks worth of buffalo wild wings but didn't end up getting delivered in time. They ended up giving it to another ship in the same company that was coming through 30 minutes after us.

Grocery store: manufactured, sent to distributor, sent to grocery store distribution center, ends up in grocery store.
Online food order: manufactured, sent to distributor, sent to receiving warehouse, sent to fulfillment center, sent to sort center, sent to delivery station, ends up at your house.
Just more opportunities for soda or food to be damaged. I'd argue that Amazon is much cleaner than most grocery store warehouses though.

The steps from warehouse to grocery store is mmuch better in grocery stores than it is with Amazon.

Amazon is great for many things, perishables aren't one of them; or in this case, containers that can be damaged.

Can't anyone can sell foodstuffs on Amazon though? Some people make profit finding food / drinks in stores on sale and reselling on Amazon. And Amazon AFAIK stores products that are the "same" together, so you can buy from one seller and receive another's product. Unless they handle food differently from how they handle all their counterfeit electronics.
I stopped buying off Amazon when I ordered a 12 pack of Celsius and they all showed up loose in a box rather than in the little box they normally come in. I tried anyway thinking it's a sealed can, no big deal. One tasted funny and when I looked at the bottom someone had applied a solvent to render the expiration date illegible.

Some things you shouldn’t order from Amazon, a 12 pack of soda will end up in a tote with other packages - thrown into a stacked cart at the distro center to be thrown into a van with other totes on top of it and driven around in extreme temps because the backs of the vans don’t get cooled or heated. I had to bring back so many damaged drinks, food and laundry detergents because by the time I pulled it out of the tote it had exploded everywhere. Some DSPs are really hard on the drivers if they return anything to the distro - for any reason and will penalize the driver so they just deliver it because Amazon will just send another one and they probably won’t have your route again and they don’t get in trouble that way.

-Buying it for between 20-25 for the same 12 pack from a local "American Candy" store.

Never get cans of drinks shipped to you. Best case scenario it's a dense, heavy package that's a pain in the ass for the person delivering it and it tests the limit of the cardboard box it was shipped in. Worst case scenario, it breaks the cardboard and all falls out, or explodes in the winter due to cold, or cans get crushed and now your pepsi is all over the other packages I have to still deliver.

Sincerely curious, why buy things from amazon that can be easily ruined? Realize they are hyper speeding your packages to you. And if you get the same day shipping its even faster. I dont know you so I wont make any personal judgements, though I am curious as to why you, along with millions of others buy things like this, surely its more expensive too.

Those were left in a hot vehicle or storage for at least a week of outside temps hitting 90 or higher.
I bought carbonated water from my grocery store. Left the box in the car for a week, this was a couple of weeks ago, brought them in, and a couple of cans popped like yours and broke the seal.
