In one of the more remarkable examples of excessive packaging we've seen, the technology site The Register in the UK posted a piece on an example of excessive packaging from Hewlett Packard (HP).
HP mailed 32 individual pieces of paperwork in a very large box. Inside the large box were sixteen (16) individual smaller boxes each containing 2 pieces of paperwork wrapped in foam padding. A total of seventeen (17) boxes were used to mail thirty-two (32) pieces of paperwork.
We have not seen a response to the story from HP. The example is certainly one of the most egregious we've seen. Who has ever heard of shipping paperwork in such a fashion?
