why do some companies drastically over-wrap packages?
Last week I got a mug in a box that was large enough to fit four of them inside and today I got a package that was large enough to hold a 12" vinyl record that turned out to have my new Slytherin silk tie in it. Both were vastly over-wrapped to what they could have been, using way too much marerial that could have been conserved for other orders and thus more eco-friendly. Had I been out the house today the postie couldn't have delivered my tie even though if wrapped better it could have been delivered without any difficulty. Is it time to start levying a waste tax against companies that blatently enlarge the carbon foot print of a delivery more than it needs to be?

Thank you for your comments, my secretary will now lose them in the in-tray for a few hours before finding them again and passing them to me.
