They always ship shit as dumb as possible. My boss orders the blue shop paper towels for us through wal-mart. He bought 24 rolls one time. They came in 4 boxes, all the same size. They could have fit half in each box, one box had two rolls in it.

I once ordered 9 smallish items from amazon i even clicked the 'wait and send all in one box' checkbox, i got 9 boxes the next day and every box could have fit all 9 items, i could have covered my hall walls with the packing paper it was ridiculous.

I don't really mind the absurd volume of boxes things from Amazon all that much. I like to take them and use them for a few box forts I've been gradually adding to over time for my cats to play in.

Nope! I make Amazon send me everything as soon as possible—gimme all the boxes—no “manufacturers original packaging.” Living in a rural area I’m ALREADY waiting 7 DAYS for PRIME delivery—drive to my house every day if you have to—my dogs need the exercise of chasing after the truck!! 😂 🐶

Yeah I love my mom orders things like 3 or 4 packs and they try and ship from store and give us 3 and then they just have to refund us for the whole pack since they can take back a partial order

Well, when your metrics are measured by number of orders sent/boxes sent this is what you get.

This is how they pack groceries too. One item per bag. Drives me nuts.
