Here is an amazing example of excessive packaging that if accurate would take the cake for the most egregious example we've seen.
An Australia-based user, on the popular site Notebookreview.com claims that HP delivered a power cord, complete with a wooden pallet. The user provided photos they took of the excessive packaging.

I own a pallet recycling company and see a lot of other companies
dump their used pallets into their dumpsters or compactors. This is a
waste of a perfectly good used resource. Plastic pallets can be melted
down to create other products. They do not deteriorate in landfills at
all. wood pallets in grand rapids
