98 % Verpackung, 2 % Produkt.
Ich habe ein ziemlich leichtes Produkt bestellt, das nicht einmal besonders zerbrechlich wirkt, und Galaxus hat es in einem viel größeren Karton als nötig mit viel Füllmaterial geliefert. Fühlt sich völlig absurd an.
Welche Erfahrungen haben Sie mit deren Verpackung gemacht?

Better safe than sorry
Its cheaper to fill a box with bubble wrap than having to deal with an angry customer
Sometimes it’s worth the ease handling to waste some space like this. Especially at scale.
Happened to me too, several times. Maybe they do it on purpose, who knows. Waste of packaging material.
look, this is just how packaging works. the logistic centers have like 10 different sizes of boxes and they choose whatever fits with the least empty space. your item happens to be long and thin, so there arent any boxes that fit neatly.
they try to send non-fragile items without extra packaging when possible, but customers just don’t like their stuff being all dinged up.
you can always choose to pick the item up at one of their stores.
edit: just keep in mind that driving your car just 1km (~70g of fuel) already produces much more CO2 than the plastic bubblewrap.
The thing is – as hilarious as this looks – there’s a reason for it.
They have a few different box shapes and pick the one that the item fits in. As your item is pretty long, that’s probably the only box that fit it length wise. So they have to use that one and fill it with packing material to avoid it breaking in transit.
Using boxes that are too big + some packing material is still cheaper than stocking more box-shapes that probably will get rarely used.
Its related to the length of the boxes, is they are often same shape just larger
For example
8 x 6 x 4
12 x 8 x 6
16 x 10 x 8
Looking at the length of the object, probably the box one size smaller didn’t fit in length even though its way to big considering height and width.
They must have an ongoing bet or something, whose packaging ends up on Reddit first?
Its to impress your neighbors! hahahah
When I opened the package, at first it thought they just sent fillers and forgot the product.
Exact same experience.
They can’t have a box for every single shape of product, it sucks but there’s no way around it if you have such a big range of products.
But at the same time you could’ve ordered more than just a single item so you’re also enabeling this waste.
Funny how so many think its okey or normal because they have just 10 different boxes or so. yea not my problem? find a solution for better boxes i don’t know… but you guys are sooo brainwashed 🙁 and then cry because of paperstraws and bottpecaps (i fully understand btw)
And it’s so bad with so many products.
Better than when they sent me my insect screens and used no packaging and didn’t even tape both sides shut. Twice. Because it opened at the bottom and parts were missing. Both times.
I recently got a picture frame in a humongous box like that. Of course just putting filling on top didn’t prevent it from being banged around, and the box from receiving holes on all sides. All things considered, the frane arrived in a pretty decent shape, but still with slight damage, so I got a refund.
