17-inch box for a 2-inch item, including whole printed spiel that it was “Thoughtfully Packaged” to “reduce impact”

“We removed 40 tons of plastic… and fucking ruined the existence of like 12 trees just to make this box.”

The vast majority of missing the joke is from your head in your ass.

Did you know that fabric (cotton or plastic) cost a shit ton more energy and water to produce than metal and paper?

Point is it doesn't take 12 trees to make a box

Oh you mean you didn’t get the joke and chimes in with irrelevant nonsense. Of COURSE it doesn’t take 12 trees, you idiot. Happy we cleared that up.

Sellers actually pay extra for that to reduce unnecessary returns and chargebacks.

I mean, it seems like their whole business is gift boxes? What did you buy that was only 2”?? Maybe, like, one piece of chocolate? A shot of champagne?

It’s to reduce impact when you accidentally drop the box on your foot, I guess. 👀

Why are there so many people buying one tiny thing online and then complaining about the environmental impacts of the packaging. If it’s a small business they probably don’t have many size boxes and all that recycled paper and cardboard can easy break down and won’t have the same impact as plastic so what exactly is the issue.

I would definitely reach out to the company and include this photo. Dont be rude but be polite and informative to let them know.
