/r/EgregiousPackaging
A place to post examples of a product you've acquired that uses entirely too much packaging.
Post pictures or stories of egregious examples of excessive packaging.
Some basic rules:
Be sure to blur or crop out any personal information on your packaging.
Keep it decent. No racist, homophobic or otherwise hateful and nasty posts/comments. They will be removed and will result in a ban and/or reporting to the Reddit overlords.
We will keep adding to these rules as new problems arise. If you have any issues, please message the moderators, we'll be glad to help you out!

Is Amazon getting worse with overpackaging?
I ordered a pressure washer wand. What you see sticking out is all that is in this box.

How important do you think rigid boxes are in conveying luxury and prestige for high-end products?

First experience with Wayfair: Two completely full 30 gallon bags of styrofoam and plastic for a small TV stand that arrived damaged from the factory and is horrible quality.

Home Depot Canada... really‽
I ordered TWO faucet connectors. They sent a gajillion, in a box that was 16in³, and jam-packed with air cushions.
Even if they hadn't sent the right quantity, this box is stupid large. (And if they had sent the right quantity... A bubble mailer would've sufficed.)
Whatever, not my money. Guess I'll sell the extra items for profit!

I don’t know if this is the right place to post
Barilla pasta once said they would stop putting the little plastic window on their pasta boxes and be more sustainable. I noticed this window on their box today. Does anyone know what happened ?
