Wiggle packaging.

[Simon Mason]

Sometimes their choice of packaging seems somewhat bizarre. I received a set
of tyre levers in a video tape sized Jiffy bag and two foldable Continental
tyres in a giant box a metre across! No wonder the p+p was more than the
actual lever cost!

I've had even smaller items in even larger bags from them

Still, overpacking is better than the other way round.
CyclingBargains.com despatched a pair of hubs in a plastic bag. No bubble
wrap, no cardboard, no nothing except for a thin plastic bag.
