This small rectangular knife wall magnet arrived from amazon.com in a box capable of shipping safely perhaps 100 or more of the same object.
:-( see the sad smile in photo
The box was way larger and deeper than it needed to be. To further emphasize my point below is a photo of the boxes shipping load / stack capacity. Amazon is professional enough to use quality boxes. This one has a "gross rate limit" of a stout 65 lbs. The side crush rating is 32 lbs/inch.
Over engineering may help protect products / quality... But there has got to be a sweet spot. Maximized shipping package protection, maxed out woodlands protection. #fsc. Also while I'm on this rant "corrugated recycles" on a presumable 0% recycled box is akin to greenwash, maybe?
It's tough love amazon. Best shopping and customer service online but you exude a Bigfoot / Sasquatch like sized Eco footprint. Inside the box was over 4 feet of all natural biobased tree, country of origin unknown. 4.5ft by 2.5 ft.
My plan is to bail you out as much as I can for all of this. I'll up cycle all this square footage of 'art paper' to my tots. And the box will go to the recycle center.
I'd enjoy a seat at the table if you are asking customer's perspectives on this.
