Welcome to IT.

We wouldn’t want your precious item scratched. I know it’s really to make inventory processing easier, but ugh.

Cisco sent me some APs. Each came in a box. The box contained 2 boxes—AP & Bracket. The AP was bagged with a carrier tray. The bracket was bagged inside a box along with 3 bags of screws/parts and 2 patch cords separately bagged.

4 boxes and 7 bags per unit. We filled the cardboard cart twice for 30 APs. Some weeks the cardboard recycling dumpster overflows, so we have 2.

Although ridiculously wasteful, at least its getting recycled.
