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.
