Husky Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 swissvax are briliant at this. I got a box that size, full of polystyrene packing tubes, then there was a posh zip closed bag with swissvax on it, inside that there was packaging and a plastic bag, inside the packing in the bag was my tiny tub of non fragile wax. I like it, to me it feels premium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 nail polish??? what a big box too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 This has come up on the MTB forums quite a lot. One of the reasons behind is is that they can make the packaging 100% recyclable from the home (ie can put it in your recycling bin). Not sure on those with polystyrene bits in them, but a lot of places use just cardboard now which is easily reused, and by only having limited sizes of boxes it makes their packaging cheaper even if they are sending larger boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 You should see the box Tarmac sent me a boot mat in!!!! I don't think he wanted it to get folded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Hmmmm not so sure myself, a jiffy bag with a removable bit of bubble wrap works just as well - and it can be posted through the door and not need someone in at the time of delivery.
