Does This Ever Happen to Anyone Else?


Because it's been happening to me a lot lately. I order A LOT of things from amazon.com, from diapers to rice milk and everything in between. Anyways, the last couple of things I've ordered have arrived in GINORMOUS boxes. I see this monstrosity of a box on my front step, I drag it inside, I open it up to find it shoved with yards and yards of packaging paper, and then somewhere down in the bottommost corner of the box is the little thing that I ordered. Like the picture frames for example. And the other day, I ordered some posters to go on the wall in our school room. The posters aren't any bigger than a place mat, and FLAT, and they came in a box as big as our computer desk. Seriously. And so I have to wonder, does this happen to anyone else? Is is some kind of joke? Do the people who work in Amazon's shipping department think they are just hilarious? Or are these giant boxes really the best fit they had to ship my stuff to me?

It happens all the time. I use the packing paper for painting with the kids so I do like getting extra of that. and it makes nice wrapping paper when they have it all painted up. We love the boxes for organizing the car and bags like beach, swimming, picnic and such. I like to have those packed all summer so we can just grab and go. the larger boxes the kids and I usually make stuff out of. They like to make boats and houses mostly.
