un-necessary packaging

[Andy™]

surely they could have found a smaller box?

and anyone ordered push fit connectors from CPC? very annoying when you order them by the hundred, and they turn up individually wrapped.... and their excuse for this: 'people buy them individually'

TLC are the same with massive boxes for small products!!

Being that most of my working career has been around storage/distrubution/stores most places will reuse boxes before using their own stock boxes , as these are for free , so if that was the last reuse box it will be used , to them it does not matter how stupid it is it does not cost anything to use it.

In fact in some places I have worked it was company policy to use old before you touched new. If caught using new before old it was grounds for disciplinery.

Prime example...I use loads of Alto DADO trunk. All accessories come in same size box. So an end cap 150mm x 35mm x 3mm comes in a box 250mm x 100mm x 100mm... :coat

I reckon I could get about 20 in one box
