After 10 days, my needles finally came in this box! Wouldn't a patted envelope have done as it was the only item in there? It was, of course, filled with plastic "bubbles", but the needle card was right at the bottom of the box, so it wasn't for protection.
LOL LOL LOL
:-P :P :P

WOW! Talk about OVERKILL!!
What a waste!
I have done that with my kids and grandkidswhen I have had a little present for them and wanted to make it more interesting to open (and try to guess :))!

~O~K~?????? At least they made the trip. But a little extreme. :)

How funny! :D

The tube would have gotten crushed in just a padded envelope, but you can rig layers of cardboard around crush-able stuff to keep it safe in a bubbleope.

And a bubbleope mailed first class would have cost about a third of what that box cost to ship.

That's ridiculous!!!!!!

But the shipper is to blame here, not the Post Office.

Oh yeah, exactly! And the needles were on cardboard with a plastic blister packing holding them to the card. But I just thought it was funny! ... Let me see how much the shipping was ... $4.92. Oh Uh-Huh, that's a bit much!!

I once got a bra in a box about that size.

Oh goodness, what a waste in so many ways. Those bubble envelopes are pretty good. I think they would have protected your purchase. Maybe you can recycle the box.

Too funny!!! :D
