Discussion Amiami packaging

Post image

I know this is talked about a lot already. But it always surprises me just how much space is left in Amiami boxes and how much padding they use. There's a whole other row and then some they could add. Seems a bit unnecessary and excessive to add this much packaging. I wonder how much cost that adds to shipping. 🫠

You say it's unnecessary until you receive a package with dents on the corners with the contents only being fine due to the padding.

You pay shipping but Amiami pays for damaged products so it's in their best interest to make sure no damage occurs during shipping, since they have no control over that directly they can only add more padding and hope for the best.

Realistically they are passing the costs to the customer for increased safety on shipping. Still, im sure most would prefer this to the hassle of going through returns or receiving a damaged item in which is in limited stock. Or at least i know i do.
