I’ve seen it all with their and Walmart’s shipping, one never knows, until it arrives.
It does seem to me though that in recent years the ridiculous and massive catastrophic packing debacles are getting more rare.
For example 2 extra large glass jars of sauce, heavy canned foods like a case of canned stew, 20 loose cans of soda pop and a 5 pound bag of flour, loose cans of vegetables and other items all thrown together loosely into a very oversized box, that was quite a box to open after it crossing the country.
Extremely unfortunate. Also extremely funny. So very sorry for your box opening area.
“glass jars”
These might be given cardboard rings at three to four inches from the bottom at the factory.
“very oversized box”
Workers might be given a computer screen packing diagram for an order and right-sized boxes.
The orders might be fed to the workers in such an order that they can get the right size boxes.
