Packaging #WordlessWednesday

I received an order from a large online retailer the other day.

And speaking of large.... 


The blue box contains what I ordered.  The corrugated cardboard box is what it came in.

Maybe they wanted it well protected, but still....

  1. Sometimes we wonder about packaging too. Amazon will send a tiny thing in a huge box filled with paper as a filler. We would think they have a million sizes of boxes but who knows why they ship things like this?

  4. Goodness. Maybe that's the only size they had. Makes you wonder.

  7. Crazy! I find that packaging makes less and less sense these days. Who knows what they're thinking :-) Glad your package arrived intact, though!

  8. I just got a order, similar packaging. I just wonder if they only have a limited number of box sizes in the warehouse. That's the only thing that makes sense. One good thing Amazon does, it has the baggie packaging for the smaller items.

  9. I got something small, rattling around in a large box. It wasn't breakable, so that was fine by me. And I got a nice big box to save for my own use! Maybe they just grab whatever box is nearby. I'd rather have a box than the plastic bags that really don't protect well enough.

  10. Haha! We get this a lot, too. You'd think they would want to be a little more environmentally conscious.

  11. 🤣 Companies do this all the time and when it happens to me I always laugh.

  12. We order almost everything to be delivered these days and I can confirm that what you say about packaging is certainly true. I think companies are very concerned to be sure that their products arrive safely, most likely based on their experience with complaints. But that just means more playthings for the cats.
