I've had one instance with amazon where they clearly drop shipped the product and didn't even take it out of the box. I purchased a single hang-on-back aquarium filter which came in an absolutely massive amazon box, containing another hugely oversized walmart box, containing an unlabeled/unbranded box which was still too large, and then finally the aquarium filter in it's own box and packaging. It almost seemed like it had been shipped from some supplier, to walmart, to amazon, and they just kept sticking the package in a larger box. The amount of waste for a single small filter was absurd
- rob74 7y agoThe alternative would be to throw away the two extra packages, which would reduce the waste a bit, but would still be absurd if you think about it...
- authoritarian 7y agoYes, I suppose either way the waste is being created, I'm just not always confronted with it at that level
- dec0dedab0de 7y agoNo, the alternative would be to put a new shipping label on the original package.
