Award for most rediculous packaging..... - SV650.org

12-03-09, 10:54 AM

and the winner is......The Abba Stand...

Seriously, WTF

My Abba stand just arrived, and I thought I'd just have a quick look at it put together, seems simple eh..

I really should have stretched first, I now know why its so expensive.......I've paid for 30 rolls of cling-film and a 10 minute workout

There's protecting your package, and then there's being a little bit silly....

It seemed to just laugh at me

[Pointless rant over]

Sony Playstation got that award from me when they returned my faulty console back to me. It was literally put in a cardboard box with no protection and lots of room to move around.
Suffice to say it was ****ed when I plugged it in.
Complained and got a reconditioned console, new controller and my warranty extended on receipt of my new console.

must go to cartridge monkey for the box they sent a pack of 50 6*4 photo cards in.

so contents are 6"*4"*1/2" thick

the box they were packed in was 18"*12"*8" with one hell of a lot of packing

Some of the chemicals we get come in tiny tiny bottles.

yet the box is huge, and the packaging material is plentiful

I bought a warning sign for the door at work. about 16" x 12" x 0.1"
It came in a box the size of an engine.

+1 for the abba stand packaging, I was amazed, never seen so much cling film in all my life. Attempted to unravel it first......soon gave up on that and butchered it with a Stanley Knife.

My HIDs arrived this morning in their box, in an Interlink plastic bag. I feel cheated
