I shall mention this article to our I.T. suppliers.
They have previously sent me a single sheet of A4 paper (a licence key) in a two-foot cubed box, and also sent me a delicate storage system packed in a box two inches two small, with the tears taped over with gaffer tape.
There are plenty of other suppliers out there who also need a lesson. You know who you are!
Nice article.

Personally, I use the 'jump up and down on it until it fits' algorithm :>
