One of the drawbacks of online shopping

Agreed. I use some when I go shooting but I'm collecting more than using

Are we a forum of hoarders or a forum of folks who sunburn on the journey between the house and garbage can?

Can't we be both?

Though I think it's because they seem to accumulate faster than you would think/expect.

The UPS guy must think we are loaded or something, since it seems like we have at least one delivery a week.

it's no wonder most polls say people use their garages for storage rather than their cars.

I always keep shipping boxes for possible returns. Then after a couple of months I break them down and recycle them. I keep a few extra around for selling things like hard drives and whatnot. I also have a giant trash bag full of styrofoam peanuts and one full of those plastic air-pocket things. If you keep any large cardboard boxes for some future shipping job, they can easily be broken down flat and taped up again when you need them.

What really piles up in my garage are the product boxes, which I keep for when I eventually sell something. Monitor boxes, motherboard boxes, chassis boxes, routers, plus boxes for all of my stereo electronics and speakers (I have four stereos set up in my home). I have dozens of these boxes. Living with all of these boxes is a lot easier than having to figure out how to pack something like a monitor or subwoofer for shipping.
