I ordered a box of envelopes(12in), and im not kidding when they shipped in a box that was 40in long......they then shipped me a video card in its original retail box.......
i have no idea what goes on in those warehouses....
Years ago Amazon would shrinkwrapbooks onto a cardboard backing beforeputting them in a box. Now I get them loose and dog eared in a box, or bent from being put into a padded envelope. I'm talking about buying new books.
