Ridiculous Packaging

[Dustydog]

The box was big enough for 6 bags of fish food. Now Amazonia have left me with the problem of card board disposal

Is it big enough to be your indoor kennel?

I remember a similar sized box arriving here. The contents? A new back scratcher.

I did publish this picture once before but similar packaging excesses, -- (It's an exhaust pipe hanger for a Fiat Punto)

And just to scale it:-

And no the peas didn't come with it!

 

[WoodlandsCamper]

And what can we scale the pea can against, as cans are of different sizes? :lol:

"And what can we scale the pea can against, as cans are of different sizes?" --- Forgot to mention it, was 1 of the 6ft. ones!

Perhaps the fish food needs more protection :silly: Such a waste of money and resources

There have been worse, but cannot find links at the moment. I think it was when you purchsed the upgrade from Windows 95 to 98 from Microsoft, you were sent a carton big enough to contain a football. Inside was a Russian Doll-like series of smaller cartons and bubble-wrap, and eventually a paper voucher that could have been sent in a standard letter envelope. You took the voucher to your local computer shop shop for the upgrade CD itself. Some people took days off work to receive this parcel.

Even worse was a HP printer upgrade circuit card, about 2 inches square, that was delivered in a carton the size of a tea chest on a fork-lift truck pallet.
