I needed a Sony 1.4x teleconverter. My normal source would take too long and amazon had it to me in 2 days. Arrived today.
A $600 fragile fairly high tech item is in its normal box, packed in a padded envelope. No other packaging, just the product box in a padded envelope. Box was battered, but item seems ok.
My wife ordered 2 skeins of yarn through amazon. The yarn comes in a cardboard box with the air pillow packing material filling the rest of the box.
I guess they did not want the yarn to break, but sure didn't care at all about a lens.
Nuts.
