I ordered 2 carbide cutters for a turning tool from Crafts Supply..
Each cutter is in a plastic box about an inch square and maybe 3/4"
thick..

They came today in a 7" x 7" x 4" box, filled with inflatable bladders..
Seems like a padded envelope or MUCH smaller box would be cheaper to buy
and
cost less to mail, besides killing less trees..

I know.. picky, picky, picky... but I hate to see waste like this,
especially
from a place that ships thousands of packages a month..

Being larger may make it harder for the USPS to loose... Over the past four
years the number of items that haven't made it to me numbers well into the
hundreds. The carrier brings something every day so they can obviously find
me. The automation is sending my stuff off into the ether... never makes it
to the regional distribution center. Bring back the mules... more reliable!
