My thought exactly. Always good for the small gift that looks like nothing under the tree — at least for a child who doesn’t get the “small is often more valuable” idea.

I got my graphics card delivered in a 1m x 1m box. But then I found out Jeff was inside, so I reckon it was appropriately sized.

OH IT’S SO TRUE…wasting resouces unnecessarily

I used to work at a department store sorting out the load – there was one company who will go unnamed who used to do this all the time, there would be a 30cm cube box and it would have a couple of staplers in it. Very annoying.

And what’s worse, the idiots at the distribution centre would sometimes put these boxes either at the bottom or halfway up a pallet – resulting in very dodgy looking pallets that have collapsed. We used to call them “Battle Star” pallets – pallets which would fall apart easily. (star wars reference, see “a new hope” if you need a clue)

This happens at my job all the time. Our warehouse will send a 4×2x10 inch box inside a container big enough to mail a fridge in and fill the rest with foam peanuts and bubble wrap.

I hope you reused the boxes

Hey don’t knock it I do this for christmas at times, makes for fun watching them dig through a 72 inch tv box full of packing peanuts for a gift card hiden somewhere inside.

Well, i suppose at least you got the contents. And somehow, I reckon that overpackaging is better than underpackaging.

By: Michael Z. Williamso

Michael Z. Williamso — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 05:42:37 +0000

Better than Fastenal. They’d send us 80 lbs of steel bolts with ONE layer of plastic tape over the box, no internal bag, no double packing. Too stupid to learn, even when a packaging engineer was sent over to advise them.

Maybe you did at UPS, Ed. We never smashed stuff up at FedEx. We even shipped wedding cakes in boxes, intact.

That explains my last UPS shipment, though.

This probably happened due to multiple companies in the distrbution chain. Each one simply repackaged the product on its way out of their warehouse.

… or maybe not.

hmmm . . . maybe the company got paranoid or the company ran out of smaller boxes, but that doesn’t explain the boxes within boxes thingy . . . to come to think about it, it is strange isn’t it?

A company once shipped me Iomega Zip disks in a manila envelope. The disks survived, but the plastic cases got busted. So, it is good to see that some companies are serious about protecting the merchandise. Insanely serious.

This what you see is what they call priced packaging.
Companies do this to uplift the price on shipping to YOU the customers.

I know this because I used to work for a company,. that did this and many other spiteful things.
reason why I quit the company, because I did not the things they did to people.

Companies that use large packaging for small items get commission from the shipping companies for using what they call LOT Packaging.
And there are different categories of LOT Packing.

This is so deceitful to people, and I hate companies that do this to innocent people.

I couldn’t believe it when I unpacked this… it’s actually an SFP, a pretty hardy little device… the two smaller boxes on the left would have been more than enough.

And no, not Dell, not IBM… I’ll save the supplier’s blushes

By: Ed

Ed — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:05:57 +0000

no! if you’ve ever worked for Fedex or UPS u know they literally smash the small boxes into extra space. This is actually a smart way to go.
