Amusing logistics
Friday, 20th January 2006 by JulieMy Amazon order from a few days ago got delivered this morning (we took the free shipping option which adds on a day or two). The guy from despatch came wandering over to my desk, carrying this humungous box. No jokes, it was about 50cm long, 30cm wide and 30cm high and as light as a feather. Inside, held securely in place by a plastic film, was the 3-pack of Palm styluses that I’d ordered for Tom. In a moulded plastic pack, about 15cm long, 8cm across and 0.5cm high.
So having received the styluses in a box that could comfortably hold around 300 similar packs, I had to walk over to my pigeon hole to get part two of the *same* order: a paperback – in a snug cardboard sheath. Does packaging come more amusing than this?
