We like to post pictures of items comically overpackaged by the Stupid Shipping Gang, in order to point, laugh, and call attention to the wastefulness. Nicole's experience shows what can happen to consumers when an item is stupidly packaged: Amazon sent her a woefully underpackaged glass bottle of vitamins, which broke in transit and cut Nicole's finger when she went to open it. Now Amazon won't give her a refund until she sends the box of broken glass, vitamins, plastic wrap, and a tiny bit of blood back.
I received a package from Amazon today. Not a third party, or whatever, but from Amazon. I order from them a LOT, especially now that they offer subscribe and save. The packaging often leads me to wonder what on Earth I ordered and forgot about. I have ordered several items in the past week, but nothing that required such a large box, so I was unsure what this box contained.I opened it to see a large jar of vitamins in the corner of a box large enough to hold 3 more jars. It was taped in a layer of bubble wrap and a few of those bags of air were tossed into the box. Not enough to actually provide any protection. Maybe this should have led me to the assumption that the jar was glass, but it didn't. I don't know if I've ever seen a glass jar of vitamins before.
