The Stupidity of Wasteful Packaging Keeps Reaching New Depths [Packaging]

It is how Dell just sent 65 screws to Martin Ørding-Thomsen: Each of them inside an incredible padded envelope. Does this appear to be the work of an imbecile to you? Well, believe it or not, it’s variety of an improvement:

That’s how Dell sent a single order of eight mounting screws in 2007, a pair per box. A year later, things weren’t any better:

This is how they sent a single order for CMOS batteries. So yes, it’s an improvement.. although sending 65 screws in 65 padded envelopes inside a single box seems even more stupid than sending all those separates box. Didn’t the man packing that thought that maybe it’d be better to take advantage of one single envelope? I truly would like to meet the folks taking these decisions.
