They used to deliver your groceries in these (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webvan#/media/File:Webvan_tubs.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webvan#/media/File:Webvan_tubs...) tubs, leaving the tub with you. You were free to keep them if you wanted. I had several for years which served as the best moving boxes I've ever had. kozmo.com (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozmo.com https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kozmo.com) was another one that was ahead of its time.

I've got my Kozmo bag around here somewhere... used it as my work bag for ages.

  They are going for some serious coin on ebay!

    Were they really? I got mine at a sharp discount online and kept it for over a decade before finally tossing it. I grew up in a small town, and Kozmo epitomized for me both big cities and the Internet. It's a large reason why I'm working in the space now.

Those are really nice tubs to just give away to customers. Worked out well for you though!

  They cost $50-70 each on Amazon or ULine. Awesome for stackable storage. With some plywood and casters, you can easily stack 6-8 tall in the garage and move them around with ease. Highly recommend.

While not in the same league as those tubs, when we first signed up for Fresh Amazon was using frozen Amazon-branded bottled water to keep the groceries cold. They switched to insulated bags a couple weeks later though, but we had plenty of free bottled water for a bit. I was just thinking this weekend about that in fact: was wondering who’s idea it was and if they got recognition for the idea or not.

In my area, they didn’t leave the tubs behind. What they did instead was mess up my order in my favor. Say I ordered one set of Starbucks bottled coffee. That would transform into 10 sets of Starbucks coffee where I wasn’t charged

  Amazon has continued that tradition to this day. A friend ordered one $200 espresso machine, got a box of 2, contacted support, they said keep it.
