... and I thought B&H overpackaged stuff.
The singular 250w modeling bulb from Paul C. Buff and the packaging it came in.

HAhaha... When the page opened up, all I was able to see was about 2/3rds of the first box...

Re: ... and I thought B&H overpackaged stuff.
Ever see the minimum box size from Canon? I recently got the manual for the 24mm tilt shift. A manual, mind you. it came in a box somewhere in size between the two you show there. They could have put it in an envelope for goodness sake.

I once received some replacement parts for a Christmas decoration, all of which could have fit into an egg carton. The parts were wrapped in bubble wrap, placed in a cardboard box about the size of a shoe box, with a couple of air pillows filling up the gaps, then that box was put inside a box about 3' x 3' x 3', completely filled with peanuts. I don't even think that the parts were breakable, they had just been missing from my original order.

Re: ... and I thought B&H overpackaged stuff.
I love the "FRAGILE" warning on the biggest box, lol.
(at least I assume that is what it originally said)

Re: ... and I thought B&H overpackaged stuff.
I ordered a compact flash card from Ebuyer a couple of years back.
It arrived in a box 24" x 24 x 12" full of those air pocket fillers. The CF card was taped to the bottom of the box. |
