I received a monitor shipped recently in a box that had an extra layer of corner drop protection opposed to a normal simple cardboard box, and therefore it apparently didn’t need an extra layer of packaging. “Ready to Ship” means that the pallet-unpack phase has concluded and no further unwrapping should occur. It does not mean “Safe to Ship” such that no further wrapping should occur. I wonder how the carriers are negotiating the minimum requirements for flat-drop versus corner-drop versus puncture-protection now that everyone’s trying to find ways to ship efficiently with less waste. How much packaging waste is to permit shipping carriers to route packages with a 10% higher chance of “significant” collision, or with a 10% higher threshold for “significant” when measuring rate of collision? Both would be ways to fine-tune shipping costs without offering easy accountability to shippers or the public.
