Amazon Really?

Ordered a new garden spade. This is the box it came in. The spade had a simple wrapping of paper around it.

But the box ... really?  :palm:

I would be more concerned if I ordered a garden spade and received instead a garden fork. That would be far more of an issue than the box it came in.

I see you are the kind of person who calls a spade a spade.

And you call a fork a spade. Do you call everything a spade?

I hope you do not intend to shovel that birdseed with that "spade".

WTF do you think I was concerned about when I saw that box on my porch? Whether it had a garden spade or a garden fork in it? I thought I had received somebody's big screen TV.

Apart from it being a fork, they no doubt have standard-sized boxes and the one you got just happened to be the next size up from the 'just too small' one. Cheaper to stock, faster to pack, what's not to like?

   You must be new to mail ordering. Minimum orders are nothing new and most companies have had them for decades.  I just pay the $100 for a Prime membership and get the free shipping. It's well worth it IMO.
