Department of inefficiency
I received this box from Amazon the other day.
This book was in it.
Just that book.
Let's see that again.
Box.
Book.
Box.
Book.
Maybe I should put something in the frame for a point of reference.Box.
Book.
Amazon. Dude. I ordered, like, fourteen books. You couldn't have fit another one in there?

Oh. My. God.
I can hear sounds of trees everywhere weeping and the chainsaws going to work.
That's madness.
Apparently Amazon is not Swiss?
;-)
Love the cow, btw.
And I bet it came with a big piece of inflated plastic to keep the book from moving around.
hahahahaha! I'm laughing my head off here....
I'm a Swiss Canadian living in Toronto...still speak the swiss german dialect...
Will visit your blog again.
i guess at least they didnt stuff it full of packing peanuts (or did they?), that air filled plastic bag stuff is pretty good.
amazon seems so hit and miss, sometimes i get things in those clever cardboard book packages, the ones that sort of just fold over the book to form a box and dont even require any packing material, and sometimes it is the giant box thing.
Oddly enough, it's more efficient to waste a big box than to store many more sizes of boxes ... there's not a lot more paper in that one than there would be in a closer fit ... simply a lot more space.
