Excessive packaging of the week goes to...

Oh come on!

[Dopey]

Wait till you get something from Amazon....

I have just burst out laughing in the middle of the office - everyone thought I was going nuts...then I showed them the picture....

I don't do this sort of thing. Do inland couriers charge by weight rather than volume? Is it a device to mitigate horrendous trade waste charges?

I can take your excessive packaging and raise you. Wish I had a photo but a similar sized box, stuffed with brown paper and bubble wrap for 5x CR2023 cells.

The couriers we use all charge by weight not volume.

Packaging from Island is always on the excessive side. Wait til you send for something large.

I recieved a cambelt kit from them last week in a box that would have kept a poor homeless person happy

Exciting, I have a selection of filters, serpantine belt etc on it's way to me, should be a really big box then.
Seriously, perhaps big boxes don't get lost so easily??

2 drill bits in a box the size of a set top box

 

[tony2]

bless them, they care about your parts arriving safely !!!!

 

[2.0_hippo]

I'd rather receive something excessively wrapped than under wrapped and it turns up damaged !

 

[Grrrrrr]

Does it work any differently when fitted?!

 

[the hammer]

its because its sh!tpart it may break if less packaging is used
