No wonder they charge thirty bucks to ship a lens cap. Now it makes sense...kinda :)

What a waste of packing material. At least it gets you more excited seeing a big B&H box delivered :D.

Ah, makes sense now!

You should email them and tell them they forgot the rest of your order - there surely should have been something else in a box that big!

Big boxes don't get lost as easily during shipping. And it's paid for by weight not dimensions.

Maybe the box with my Sigma 70-300 should've been shipped in a bigger box. Then UPS might not have lost it.

Really? Every courier company I have dealt with here in Australia goes off cubic weight or dead weight, whichever is higher. In this case I would say the cubic weight would be considerably higher than the actual weight.

USPS charges by both weight and size. Once the cashier asked if I could fit my item in a slightly smaller box because I was just over the limit for the higher price bracket. I was shipping internationally, so maybe there's a difference?
