Recieved an ultra slim keyboard in a box big enough for a microwave oven (packing material in comment)

Ah I see the confusion here. Your new cat box comes with a free keyboard.

Probably confused why you bought packaged air, when your whole house is full of air already

Ah, they had to check it out

Yeah I work at a pet store and one of hold duties was pack up boxes for UPS or FedEx, basically flip flopping from retail helping customers to packing

Anyways sometimes we’d run low and have to pack a tiny bird toy into a box made for a 30lb bag of dog food

Other times we had to sometimes tape 2 boxes together becuase the tall box (made for stuff like dog poop rake kits) was to narrow, and the wide boxes for aforementioned dog food was too short

Nah, Galaxus and Brack (biggest online retailers here) pull that regularly. At least they use those cardboard-paper things for filling now. Plastic pillows were a hassle to dispose of, had to cut sometimes whole rolls of them if you don't want to fill 3 trash sacks.

Always figured that was the case, no joke. Ever try to automate anything even slightly complex? Edge cases and weird shit crops up all the time. Maybe something in the product description triggered this ridiculous box.

People doing the packing probably don't have a path to get the occasional issue resolved, and likely don't care.

Going by their job interview questions it probably has something to do with optimally packing boxes in a truck

That label is only 5" square at most, though. You don't need a microwave sized box for that.

This kind 😁
