Really, Amazon?   Leave a comment

So Beavis has a report due next week, on Siberian tigers.  He’s pretty excited about it, and has been reading up about them on the internet, in some books, etc.  Since this is his first "real" project (as he’s only in 2d grade), we’re helping him out a bit. 

One of the things he’s going to make is a display, with a display boards look like this:

Pretty standard, right?  Amazon has them, and since everyone has to do projects, I went ahead and ordered 4, so I’d have some in reserve.  I also get Amazon Prime shipping, so they show up in a couple of days.  I was surprised to see how they packaged them though:

That’s right:  instead of sticking them into one box, I got FOUR 5’x3’x8” boxes.  I was super excited when the UPS man brought them to the door, I thought it was Christmas until I saw what was inside them.  I bet they ended up losing money on that sale.
