whoever runs Best Buy's shipping department should be shot!!!

I ordered a Sony Screen protector for my NR from Best Buy (I had a digital coupon so it cost me nothing). I finally got it today. To give reference the single line invoice is 11 inches...

[pigburger]

Can someone approve my picture? The post really doesn't make sense without it...

Nice!! Too bad they didn't have a bigger box so the screen protector didn't have to be bent during shipping!!

This looks like a great submission for Consumer Reports! Talk about overpackaging.

I'da thought there was a vacuume in that box and sent it back? Was it packaged with those styrofoam peanuts for protection? :confused:

[pigburger]

Thankfully it was just air pillows, put I thought it was a coat or something my wife ordered while shopping during the snow storm. I got my new headphones today and the 8X8 box they came in weighed the same as the monster box for the screen protector.

you've got to be f#@$ing kidding me??? those little screen protectors arrived in that box!!!!!! wow and I was complaining last night because my single memory stick arrived in a (approximate) 10x10x6 box!

[eric2002]

hey where did you get the coupon? I am going to be moving and could really use some free large boxes!!!

ROFL! I guess they are trying to help the corrugated box industry.

jedix, Best Buy is killing trees. Evil people, I tell you.

That should be submitted to that BBSux site.

I say give them some "good" press.

Call your local news station and get ahold of their consumer reports person. Then watch the fun.

That box looks like it's 4 feet tall.

I just got the same thing. From Amazon? Pretty rediculous. They could have taped it to the back of a postcard!

I had the same problem last december. I ordered a Casio Keyboard for my son for Christmas and it came wrapped in a single layer of bubble wrap and was dropped in a box big enough to fit a 52 inch TV! The keyboard wasn't even in it's original box, just wrapped in bubble wrap.

:mad:

I think that someone at BuestBuy has developed a sense of humour as bad as mine, I bet they pissed themselves thinking about the look on your face when you opened it :)

[pigburger]

Imagine if I actually paid expedited freight for it though, and got nailed for the extra charge for the over sized box....

Good idea!

Imagine if you had ordered a large screen tv! The box would have been bigger than your house!!!

[pigburger]

Okay, now I know they're f'in with me.

I had to order a second screen protector because the first order didn't take the coupon and I couldn't cancel it. Even though I placed the order 5 days later then the original, it arrived today, one day after the monster box. It came in 5X8 bubble padded envelope with the screen protector placed lovingly inside the folded invoice. I really wish I kept the box just so I could bring it back to the store when I returned the duplicate protector. I know someone in their warehouse is laughing his butt off at me.

so what exactly is the digital coupon nuimber?

well, atleast it didn't come in an even bigger box!:eek:

[pigburger]

Wouldn't matter, it's one of those "only good for one use" type deals, like a gift card. Unfortunately it's not a ten $10 coupon that everybody can use.

[JenixSJ30]

aww man. thanks anyway
