Crazy Outlet Shipping: Wasted Packaging for Cranberry Bar Board and Bread Crock

[jenwallace]

I ordered the cranberry bar board and the cranberry bread crock. I received them today...in 2 seperate boxes!! Why would they do that? It seems like such a waste. There's no reason they couldn't have both gone in the same box. I don't understand. Just a little vent...

Ive gotten some bizarre packing too. I got a HUGE box a couple of weeks back, with just the large micro cooker. I swear there was at least 5times more paper then product!! CRAZY!!

Welcome to the age of computerized optimization. The picking lists must have been analyzed (emphasis on "anal") and printed in the most optimum way to package and ship your order. Ain't technology grand?

Yep. I got a pizza cutter in a big box all by itself and the rest of the order in a separate box. Duh.

If it means quick shipping, I don't care what they put in the box!

WOW I thought that I was the only one...I was actually going to post something about this. I got 5 boxes and condensed them into 3 funny thing is one of the boxes that I condensed into was on of the small flat ones. I probably could have done 2 but separated stuff according to why I bought it. The thing that really made me laugh was that there was a big box with my 2 crocks in it and there was a flat box with my bar boards in it but I had one box that had ALL 4 of my mini fluted pans in it. My mom was sitting there complaining about the shipping cost of PC the whole time that I was repacking everything. I don't think that the shipping is a big deal unless someone orders something small but apparently she does. Sorry that this is so long I just thought that it was funny that someone else posted about this.
