Jewelry packaging

Shame on you, QVC, for the over-packaging with non-recyclable materials. Why does it take 4 plastic bags, a faux-cloth bag, a box, and a shipping box to send me one pair of small earrings? Mutliply that times the 5 five pairs of earrings that I ordered, and it's incredibly wasteful Most of this stuff is neither reusable nor recyclable nor suitable for gifting. I used to think that I was being environmentally conscious by shopping online instead of driving around to various stores, but now I'm doing just as much driving taking things to the landfill.

I happen to like my earrings separated into plastic bags each with their own sliver saver little paper, to keep the earrings from scratching each other in shipping, esp. sterling silver earrings.

I think the packaging for any type of jewelry here at the q totally stinks. We used to get really nice long narrow boxes with our necklaces, chains, bracelets in but not anymore. Instead they cram these pieces that we spend GOOD moeny for, into those awful plastic bags - and multiples of them too.

They've totally RUINED some pieces of jewelry that I've ordered in the past, woven chains all kinked up with very noticeable kinks right in the front that are VERY visible. Aggrivates me NO END!!!! I've needed to return jewelry items and marked them 'DAMAGED/DEFECTIVE' and it made no difference in getting at the very least my s/h credited back to me.

Not at all good packaging/business practices by any vendor here including.
