A Slight Hesitancy

PickyPicky3 — Tue, 13 Dec 2022 22:44:06 GMT

I ordered one pair of leggings from Target, and they were just delivered. In a 15"x20"x45" box. I haven't opened it yet.

I'm sure it's fine. I just don't like surprises.

Because of the size of the box?

@PickyPicky3 I'd check immediately to assure it's not a baby grand piano. Maybe they're recycling boxes.

I once bought 6 mesh trash cans for our offices from Amazon. I expected they would be stacked together and sent in one box. They were laid out like a six pack in a box the size of a casket.

@RollTide2008 You should've sent Jeff Bezos a picture.

Keep us posted, please!

Trash can story is funny. Someone wasn't thinking.

@PickyPicky3 - Pre-pandemic I orderred something like a pair of gloves from Kohl's.

When my package arrived, it was in a huge box (probably the size of yours). I said to my DH how ridiculous it was.

Until I opened it and found that I had received a My Little Pony kitchen (or something like that). Heaven knows who got my gloves.

I immediately took it to the nearest store to explain, because this was around Christmas and I just knew it was meant for some little child.

So, if I were you, I'd open that box!

That's rather funny. Didn't know Target sold leggings for giraffes.

Yesterday I received a huge box from Target. Almost as big as my coffee table. I thought it was heavy but it was light as a feather. Like it was empty. I opened it and it contained 2 outfits for my little niece's baby doll. I forgot I'd bought them. I don't know why they put them in such a humongous box.

Thanks @chrystaltree Your post sent me into action. Everything OK, although there was so much packing material it took me a minute to find the leggings.

When my son worked one Christmas at Amazon, he said there were only a few size boxes and the system tells you what one to use to package it iup in.

Maybe they’re out of smaller boxes.

I just ordered a microwave from Amazon. The order said it would come in the "brand" box, unless I notified them otherwise.

Sure, they may run out at times and have to use larger boxes but I've been seeing a lot of huge boxes for tiny items the past year.

Oversized boxes is one of my pet peeves but I'll survive the horror.
