                   An excessive number of packaging layers

I ordered an item from Amazon [1] the other day. The expected arrival time
was Friday, but instead, it arrived today. On the front porch was an Amazon
box, measuring 6″ × 9″ × 5″ (16cm × 23cm × 13cm for the more civilized
amongst you). Inside was another box, 3″ × 4½″ × ⅜″ (7cm × 11cm × 1cm).
Inside that was a slightly smaller anti-static bag. Inside that was a smaller
plastic bad, and finally, inside that was the item I had purchased—a
replacement battery for my old-school flip phone.

Seriously? Four layers of packaging? Sigh.
