Specifically the card board boxes. I wonder if they don't purchase pallets of cardboard boxes. And not straight trucks or even semi trucks at a time. Instead $395.00 per pallet of card board boxes. They order a train load of 100 cars loaded with boxes. Getting their per pallet price down to $239.00. And perhaps that is how they ship a shoe horn, 6 D batteries and a pair of fuzzy dice in a box big enough for laundry basket. Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

I'd be happy if they improved their aim with package delivery. I'm getting a little long in the tooth for crawling around bushes and shrubs. __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | |||

They go down to using plastic bags and, I suspect, they require some vendors to package the product in a way that Amazon can just slap a label on the product’s packaging itself and ship as is. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I swear, I get a set of windshield wipers and the box is big enough for a new car!

Oh no, I long for the days of too many, over sized boxes. Half the stuff now seems to be coming in barely padded paper envelopes. It's wonderful getting shipping damaged, or rain soaked products from them way too often. | |||

I do like the light weight cardboard boxes, seem strong and a good use of resources. | |||

Or the thing (like something electronic or fragile) is simply in a mailing envelope or worse yet a clear plastic bag and that's it for packaging. That's happened several times now. Their packaging methodology is incoherent to me. | |||

I just received a pair of silicone watch band keepers from Garmin. They could have been shipped in a small envelope. Instead, they came in a 5"x6"x7" carboard box packed with those inflated plastic pillows. The good news is that they arrived unbroken.  "Cedat Fortuna Peritis" | |||

Today received an Amazon box delivered by USPS... 6 x 9 x 3.5 inches. Product inside was 4 x 2 x 1 inch. Two tiny boxes taped together, each box held 1 magic marker. Any dog can be a Guide Dog if you don't care where you're going. NRA ENDOWMENT LIFE MEMBER | |||

Plastic bags replaced paper sacks "for the trees", as was the vision of Gustaf Thulin. Ironic if he were buried in a carboard box for the same reason. Boxes... boxes, everywhere. \o/ "the meaning of life, is to give life meaning" ✡ Ani Yehudi אני יהודי Le'olam lo shuv לעולם לא עוד | |||
