    They probably ran out of the smaller size boxes. Rather than holding your package, the puller grabbed whatever was available that it would fit in.

    Just be glad it came in a cardboard box, and not one of those plastic envelopes that can’t be easily recycled.

      Nah, Galaxus and Brack (biggest online retailers here) pull that regularly. At least they use those cardboard-paper things for filling now. Plastic pillows were a hassle to dispose of, had to cut sometimes whole rolls of them if you don’t want to fill 3 trash sacks.

      Yeah I work at a pet store and one of hold duties was pack up boxes for UPS or FedEx, basically flip flopping from retail helping customers to packing

      Anyways sometimes we’d run low and have to pack a tiny bird toy into a box made for a 30lb bag of dog food

      Other times we had to sometimes tape 2 boxes together becuase the tall box (made for stuff like dog poop rake kits) was to narrow, and the wide boxes for aforementioned dog food was too short
