Counting the pages in the slip, I guess you received 8 phones?

Well no picture, but I ordered a replacement battery for my Sony digital camera and it was shipped in a box that could hold 2 laptops. No wonder the shipping costs so much, not to mention what that type of packaging does to landfills since not all is still recycled

Personally I love the ones from Dell. They shipped us in a HD sized box, new CPU retaining springs. And expected us to send the bent ones back to them.

Do you guys get free stuff from Cisco when you place large value orders? I used to work for a company that bought about $200,000.00 AU$ and they added a table-tennis table and gear with the order. I suppose that may all stop soon.

I ordered a bunch of hotswap HD carriers. Apparently you have to order the screws separately. The four tiny screws came individually packed in boxes bigger than what the carriers shipped in! Overall, the whole shipment was nearly the size of a small refrigerator.

Some companies really need to spend a few minutes on checking how they really ship stuff :D. I've received several 'dvd-box sized software bundles in boxes as big as a midi-tower puter.. that's fun when you get three boxes, with three different software-bundles...
