So Best Buy sent me a really big box

I recently ordered the new albums by M.I.A. and Rilo Kiley from Best Buy. A pretty good release date sale of $7.99 for each disc enticed me.

The box is big

Imagine my surprise when I received a box built for 50 CD’s in the mail. Shows how much I know about business when I can’t think of a way this packaging makes sense financially.

    Agreed. It’s certainly different - but an interesting departure.

    Hahaha cd’s!

    I agree about the packaging though… what a waste!

    At least the box can be recycled. :)

    The packing material was also recycled. I’m most concerned about the space on the delivery truck at this point. :)
