Double boxed, surrounded by air pouches and held firm with layers of wax paper. How bad do you have to treat a package to get this level of destruction?

    This package treatment usually isn’t malice; the automated package sorting drops packages from one belt to another and the longest drop can be up to 12 feet (4 meters).

    Always assume your package will experience such a drop when you’re packing it.

        Trillions of packages delivered successfully, but because some idiot thought waxpaper was a good packing for cookies we should throw out that system? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how such a system would work at that kind of throughput.
