Overpackaged

Just a tad, don’t you think?



P.S. In case you’re wondering the 1GB is my main card, I just ordered a smaller one as a backup.

PS work:

Frame colour Pantone 7401C

Typical Amazon!!!
That's why they charge so much for shipping, but better get it whole:-)
Imagine how much fun such a little card can contain!!!!

I think they do this so it can't fit on average mailboxes! Once I got a thin little book taped to the bottom of a huge box... Nice lighting in the picture

Overpacked and in this country, probably overpriced.

Argh, I have to send you those CDs already.

They aren't taking any chances. Nice thing to have though.

Incredible overuse of packing but safe. I do like your lighting on the subject.

Better than being underpackaged, I guess! I once ordered a pack of 4x6 photo paper from Buy.com and they packaged it in this *gigantic* box with a million packing peanuts!

Very, very funny Ray. (and what a waste of resources). I have a 1 gig... you'll love it. It last longer than my batteries!
Guest 05-May-2004 22:53
LOL... that's funny!

Did it come with dry ice???

Tx Ray - you really made me smile by this one !
Concrats, see you got a fine Heavy Duty CF - be sure to get the most of it.
Guest 05-May-2004 21:41
Maybe they got confused and send you a BOX of CF cards (yeah as if amazon could ever make mistakes like that)... or a CF type 10000?
Guest 05-May-2004 21:24
May I ask how much did you pay for it? and were? thanx
Guest 05-May-2004 21:22
WOW, all that packaging for a COMPACT FLASH CARD?? Wow. Great lighting!
