First Blog = Staples Rant

So my wife and I got new family room furniture. We had been looking for furniture for a while and finally found some pieces that we both agree on. We were looking for something to house our CD collection since our last entertainment center had great storage for CD's. Amy found some boxes on the Staples website that would hold all of our CD's. So she ordered 4 of them up and they arrived today. Boy did they arrive. Below are the pictures. The CD boxes came folded and disassembled as you can see in one of the pics. Now I can understand having to ship multiple boxes if the items won't fit in 1 box, or using a larger box, etc. What I can't understand is why they would send 1 item per box, in a box that is way too big for that 1 item. As you can tell in the pictures, 1 of these boxes could have probably held 10 of these CD boxes. But instead they put 1 CD box in 1 Staples shipping box. A colossal waste of money and resources.
