I got a package from Dabs today:

You'd think I must have ordered something pretty big, right? Think again:

That's a desktop microphone and a USB sound card. If they'd packaged them correctly they could have just posted them through the letterbox!
Thankfully this isn't as bad as Dez's package from Scan which filled a box about that size with mostly bubble wrap, the payload being a 2GB SD card. But it still defies common sense.
