I'm almost, but not quite, speechless and need a rant so you fellas are the lucky recipients
We ordered 2 year planners to stick on the wall from Amazon the other day, these are rolled up to about 3cm dia x 50cm long and can't weigh more than a couple of hundred grammes.
One of those cardboard tube thingies would have done the job but instead each one arrived in its own box measuring 60 x 55 x 20 and full of packing to stop them moving about, a volumetric factor of 300. The point is, they have a webpage
full of drivel about "Amazon and Our Planet" and the lengths they go to in sourcing environmentally friendly packaging etc etc. Perhaps they think that by using more of the stuff they are even more environmentally friendly.
Quote "Amazon has developed a software program that determines the "right-sized" box for any given item to be shipped to a customer, based on that item's dimensions and weight."
Must be their parcel carrier who wrote that magical bit of software for them!!!
There, that feels better
