Ordered some Hudz donuts.

Came in a 8x6" box full of paper packaging? WTF?

    Do a search on here for the CRC interview last month or the month before: they explained that they used the same packaging for everything (from doughnuts to a groupset) because although it was ridic in some cases (ie this one) it was enviromentally sounder (boxes are made from recycled cardboard and are recyclable - plastice envelopes are not), its easier to store at their warheouse, quicker for them to deal with (and therefore improved turnaround time for us), easier for their post room and easier for the post office. Plus (probably) some other stuff that I've forgotten about.

    Their words, not mine, so please don't shoot the messenger.

    If you think that box is silly, order anything from Screwfix - then you'll see huuuuuge boxes and small order items.

    Alternatively, just blame Wiggle.

    Did you get your free energy drink tablet things?
