It’s a lot of waste but they do this to prevent shipping damage and so they can stack them up higher

Yea. You should appreciate this. The extra boxes add to the security of the product and helps ensure it arrives to you intact.
If you had bought this at the store rather than shipping it, it would have come in a single box.

At least there are no cold solders on your slow cookers circuit boards.
lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
So far…
kamenlady@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yeah, that poor circuit board

And I’ll put that box in another box, and I’ll mail that box to myself!

It is for your cat. If you don’t have any then time to get a cat for your boxes.

Slow cooker, complete with slow unboxing experience

It isn’t as if you’re in a hurry to eat.
MamboGator@lemmy.world 9 months ago
It’s so you can use it as a pressure cooker if you want. The boxes are for extra wall integrity.

Maybe the slow cooker mob is trying to send you a message

I can explain that, it’s based on local post compliance laws.
The manufacturer already supplies it in the middle box, which is a valid parcel packaging for their country. However, when it’s being delivered in yours, that one is not allowed so they need to pack it up again in another box, the bottom one, that is an allowed packaging in your country.
This stuff can be absurd at times. And go really wild.

Is it just that the middle box is unmarked?
Carighan@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Usually it’s something about material types or thickness.
The weirdest packaging I’ve seen before was a bottle in a shipping box, inside another leak-proof box inside another non-leak-proof box.
The reason went as this:
And due to laws, usually it is now legally possible to take away any box, effectively replacing it. You’re not allowed to open/unseal other people’s mail basically.
