Hey! I used to send out those parts, and they need all that packing!

First month on the job, I may, or may not have, used enough packing on a Challenger 601 generator. From the pictures we got, it looked like UPS dropped it a couple 100 times. Repair cost was somewhere in the $70,000 range. I always made sure to over pack everything after that! Don't even get me started on how much packing a Fetzer valve needs!

Sometimes you have to throw down

I used to work in an amazon warehouse. Every item has been measured and its stats are tied to its bar code, so you scan it to ship out and the all-seeing all-knowing amazon win95 computer says to use XX size box... its actually pretty cool. Some awkward items are horribly wrong, its usually the things that in a secondary container or really flat.

Whenever I get a box now I check the cardboard, it says what city the box was made in.
way too much info on boxes

Virgin Mobile sent me a Nano Sim Card in a 1' x 1' box. No lie. Corporate America is balls stupid.

I've seen that clip discussed before, turns out the chick has weird double-jointed knees or something. Not nearly as horrible as it looks.

I got a SAS Hard drive in one of those boxes. Ordered two. Both arrived in their own box just that big. Yes, they were both defective by the time they arrived.
