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.

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??

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