    Packaging

    Ordered 3 parts from Brownell's. This is the box they came in. Makes you wonder.

    At least they didn't get beat up in transit.

    I agree with the unstated opinion the parts could have been more economically shipped in an envelope.

    Hard to lose a box that size. LOL

    If you are on the Edge program the rate may be the same for 2nd day whether box or envelope.

    I've gotten stuff in boxes, then later the same sort of thing in a padded envelope.

    It might just depend on who was working the shipping station that day, or if they ran out of one or the other type carton.

    I've always been confused when something packed in a sturdy box suitable for shipping is put into another, larger box & shipped.

    Have you seen Amazon's box size differential? I had one that 3 of those shipping boxes would fit into and part was about the same as yours
