When ever I buy goods online, I get enormous amount of wrapping which is just waist. for example, I bought a xbox live code a few days ago, and what I got was a plastic wrapping around the paper inside a cardboard box. can't they just send the code in a envelope? not going to name any company or websites, but some shopping sites has over wrapping and you just don't need it, I even have trouble getting rid of it. Yes, some content has to be protected, but do they know what to protect and what not to?

I bought a pair of headsets and it came with double boxes with those air bags like if it was glass inside.

Wait, so that box was for an xbox live card? That is extremely pointless. They have bubblewrap envelopes that they could've sent it in.

What I hate is how you have to have the Jaws of life to get into most retail packaging these days. It definitely isn't an easy task to get a small thing out of a ton of plastic packaging.

My mom does this with Christmas Presents, but she tapes the hell out of them so you really can't get inside the box. You have to struggle to open it.

Well, better safe then sorry. Don't want the box to tear and have your product fall out. I agree with the overusing plastic, its just a waste.

i ordered a pair of expensive jordans online and all that came was the shoe box taped around the top flap. no double box or wrapping. kind of wish they were boxed like in the pictures.

I'd rather have a package over wrapped then under wrapped but I get where you're coming from.
