This was really funny and odd today as I received a shipment from the mail which I was expecting. However, when the delivery guy gave me the package I was really shocked at how large the box was as you can see. What could be in this box you say? What do you think it could be based on the size of this box? Take a look at this:
This was literally all that was in the box. Yes, a simple small umbrella. The thing is this traveled from the east coast as well. So I can imagine the potential extra cost for the business where this box is taking up more room than needed. My only assumption is that the retailer just has so many orders that the staff just found the first thing that would fit the thing and send it off.
It makes me wonder how much time and money from a business standpoint you can save by being more resourceful in your shipping and packaging process. I guess on the bright side the box is recyclable.
