Most bizzar shipping method.

I ordered 3 free sample RS232 transceivers from Analog Devices one time. 3 28 Pin Dual In Line Package ICs - should be fine in a padded envelope. They shipped it in a double corrugated box ~24"x8"x6". WOO FREE BOX!

I ordered a muffler from some online auto parts place and they shipped it with some clear tape and a thin layer of cardboard around the body.

Most guitars ship in double boxes, it provides better protection, you should know this when you order it. Most companies advertise this as a good thing.

When I got my motherboard from Newegg it can in a box, that was surrounded by packing peanuts and another box. So it was a box in a box. I saw no problems with it.

I still think it was a waste of money. I was charged almost 35 dollars for shipping. Seems like it could have been cheaper if they used 1 box.

Well next time tell the shipper your cheap and to only wrap it in tissue paper with the shipping label covering the seam lines.

I can't find the picture of that memory stick that just had a postage stamp on it, but you should have requested them to ship it that way.
