Amazon is a huge company that puts in an amazing amount of effort and intelligence to make for great online shopping experiences. But the capricious nature of Amazon’s packing frequently amazes me. A recent case in point: one order of coffee (about $20 value) and an order of two external hard drives (about $500 value). The coffee came in a large, protective box. The hard drives came in a small plastic envelope. Granted: the hard drives are individually wrapped in boxes, and I hate over packaging, but given the relative value of the items alone, shipping the delicate electronic hard drives in an envelope seems like a good way to stress test the hard drive packaging.
