CPC. I love your parcels but resize my recycling please

Seriously, I know they get a price on fixed size, but my recycling is getting silly.... contents are 1 transformer, bag of caps and some ESD foam.... Box size...... MASSIVE

I bought a single lithium ion coin cell from them a year or so ago. It arrived in a box that was about 2.5*1.5*1.5 feet.

At the opposite end, I just received some wide angle LEDs from Mouser.  The package was wrapped in some bubble wrap and then put in what looked like 2 heavy pieces of brown cardboard glued together.  They did arrive safely and work fine.

You obviously didn't read that they have a special offer running at the moment: "3 qubic feet of air with every order!"
Hewlett Packard were always my favourite for ridiculous packaging. They once sent us a single 19in rack device strapped to a pallet!

Says a lot for being green and keeping recycling down. We should have a dedicated post for CPC etc packaging. could be fun to see who gets the most ridiculous

Actually I also ordered some axial caps ( for my old Farnell FG3 generator, I am surprised they did not put them in the same order as they were made the same day as the other, I await to see what size box they come in....

I had to go all the way to the post office this weekend to collect a CPC parcel that was "too large for my letterbox". The box was. The contents certainly weren't.
