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..

I order parts for my job and often get a kick out of how stuff comes
packed. I never understand when I order one part, that comes well packed
in it's own corrugated box , and it shows up packed into a larger box. For
god's sake! Just stick a label on the box and ship the damn thing!

When I order delicate items I expect the original box will be shipped inside
an outer box with packing in between. This will keep it safe from many
hazards such as sharp edges that cut into the outer box or corners that are
crushed.

When I am reselling the item, and it comes in a printed box with description
and pictures on the outside, I do not want shipping labels slapped on the
box and shipped as is, I want it packed inside an outer box so that the
customer doesn't see the shipping labels, scratches, cuts and crushed
corners that show up on the outer box.
