    Re: An example of shoddy Amazon packaging

    I am not sure if it's still the case, but the biggest case of bubble wrap abuse (in a good yet excessive sense) I've seen so far is with SVP.

    As to how Amazon dealt with that HD.. Yickes I guess. Looks like I'll stay away from buying mechanical HD from them. Shame though, they are still one of my favourite e-tailer overall.

    I do understand the point about hard to open packaging though. I was glad to see that WD finally stopped doing that with their Passport series. I've got 3 of them, the first two I bought required kitchen scissors to butcher the package (rendering it unusable), whereas the last one didn't.

    Thats disgraceful. I would send it back. Just think if DHL got anywhere near that package it would of been atomised before it reached your door.
