My new compact flash card... and the box it came in.

I really like Dabs for their good prices and reliability, but someone really needs to talk to their packaging department!

Emilygrae holy crap that's funny! I used to work in the packages section at the postal service, and you should see them throw it, and the resulting smooshed boxes. horrible. I would throw some, you had to because of time constraints, but if I ever came across one that had a logo of a little apple with a bite out of it I would walk it where it went and gently put it in some smoosh proof place. Would hate to have something that I knew was important get smooshed. :)

steph_angel I dread to think how much bubble-wrap was in there :-o

Anonymous can relate to that becky as i- some time ago- ordered online a new front fog lamp for my car and the box it was suspended in the middle of was...and i quote 700mmx550mmx550mm high the lamp was well as small as a fog lamp is really! had more poly chips inside than i knew what to do with!
i guess the parts co had plenty of experience of broken delivered parts that they were taking no chances ha!

yes its me your friendly hanna x

PB Come on becky, isnt it about time you took some pictures of yourself with your new super-duper toy!!!!xx

Kaye (formerly Mandy) Wilkinson Hi Becky, you though you got a big box for your item, well, I ordered 6 pairs of earrings, and a pair of tights, and look what my packaging was like !
I'll be in touch ASAP. I'm a wee bit busy changing my name and telling everyone.
Take care x.

Jenna Yes, Dabs are good like that aren't they. I had the same sized box for an SD card I bought from them. I think they have two sizes of boxes from their suppliers, big and bigger.
