A MUCH smaller box could have been used, I can fit in the box and sneek around like snake from metal gear solid. Normal these arrive in the parts cage with a daily order without a box.

This type of shipping seems to be happening more and more. A guy on the focus forums ordered some parts for his Focus RS conversion, and was shipped the parts in a box that was about the size of a microwave for a couple simple rubber coolant hoses and small parts the size of a fist…and then about a cubic foot of packing peanuts on top…and because it was international shipping from europe he got absolutely HOSED on the shipping cost because it was rated at dimensional weight. He was pretty damn pissed and made a huge thread about it haha. Sad thing is now that business will not ship overseas any longer which makes it that much harder to source RS parts for the conversion

Many companies use only a set number of box sizes to ship goods. For example, it’s less expensive to stock and use only 5 different box sizes instead of 15 different ones. Work with what you got.
