OT, but this!

I recently ordered a picture frame from Amazon. It came in its packaging box, which was placed in a box by the manufacturer. That box was put in another box by Amazon and shrink wrapped to a large piece of cardboard, which was then put inside yet another box.

On the surface, it seems crazy, but Amazon did manage to get it to me undamaged.

My wife recently ordered five storage boxes. They arrived in two packages on the same day. One package neatly fit four of the boxes. The other package was large enough for five, and contained one storage box and a excessive amount of packing material. Not an Amazon purchase, so it must be an industry issue.
