What's this?

You'd think Amazon would have this sort of logistics and cost efficiency


issue down to a science completely.

I just got an amazon package, with some small batteries for a dog collar, and a pack of pencil erasers (the click ones like any engineer, or former one, had at VT). 2 items that could have easily fit in a padded envelope, but they arrived in an "A3" box. Approx 6" x 7" x 10"

That had to be more in shipping and material cost, right?

  Maybe it's cheaper to order one kind of box... -- `lag 06/06/2018 2:45PM
