At least they were well protected.
 
one Caveat... they were in a sealed plastic bag
 
Gives overkill a whole new meaning. Love it when something like that comes packed in 100 pounds of styrafoam peanuts that end up all over the place as you try to figure out what to do with them and where in the pile lies the items shipped.
Sorry, got carried away.

That aint nuthin. Think that's bad.......my wife COLLECTS the stuff... Oh, and boxes too. Each box needs it's own place...full size and EMPTY as to ascertain said box's capacity. Ever seen half of a 45' freight trailer full of empty boxes and peanuts?????
 
The box in that picture......is what I do 8-5 Monday through Friday. The company I work for also will go in and review the customer's processes and help them eliminate costly expenditures like that. It's expensive to ship air.
 
Well the bolts I got I bought before the real size I needed was revealed.
I have to send them back and get smaller ones.
They will go back in a small envelope and what size container do you think the new ones will be in?
They are from McMaster and came out of their NC warehouse.
 
Maybe this size?

My sister-in-law does that. Boxes of boxes, and sacks of sacks, sacks of boxes and boxes of sacks.
House cannot be maneuvered in. Plus four storage units.
Another brother and his wife did an intervention about three weeks ago on one small room downstairs...took 9 hours.
My brother who is married to the....packrat has cancer, on chemo, and needed a cool place to sit, especially in hot weather, and there was none. There is now.
Next is the kitchen.
I have 3 or 4 garbage bags of peanuts for shipping. But they are in the attic of the shop, and I cycle through them regularly.
