Well this is just silly....

So, blind bag ponies came from Hasbro today *cheers*

I had my boyfriend order them for me, since I'm in Canada and they were going to charge me about $30 shipping.....I could not figure out how in the world such a small box could cost that much...

And then you see this...

....That big box is what that one little box of blind bags came in.

Yet more proof that Hasbro is officially retarded. No WONDER they over charge for their shipping, they have no idea how to keep their overhead down by keeping packing materials on the down low! Dummies. *facepalm*

Was there packing peanuts in the box or anything? Or was it just thrown in there?
I suppose that's why they charge so much to ship, hahaha. At least you got 'em!

[littlexflitter]

That is a really big box...but at least it was protected!

They probably charged that high for the large box, which is still stupid because it wasn't needed when there's a smaller box that fits it better.

Yeah. The box with the blind bags came in the box that the stores get for Hasbro products, and then in that gigantic box ><

My boyfriend wasn't at home when the mail came by so it was dropped in the landlord's office...everyone in there was stupified by it because it was so big yet so light lol

I remember times where Amazon would ship items in a larger-than-needed box.

I just bought once form Hasbro and they damaged BOTH Black and Blue Art Ponies boxes...  They got nothing to package them, just thrown inside a big box...

And I couldn't say anything because I asked to be shipped to a mom's friend who lives in the US...  so when I went and retrieve them (and opened the box) was really sad at the carelessness of Hasbro to just throw the ponies inside with no protection -.-

At least you received your ponies   And a BIG BOX to use and store things

No camera, but mine came today too.  Outer box was a bit bigger than Okie's.  Like maybe the next size up?  DOY!!!!!!!  Ahh well, silly fuzzball kitty will have fun putting all of her toys in it, and maybe avoid my shoes...

Ugh, they would NOT pass any corporate environmental responsibility test, is all I can say :S this is actually really annoying me :S

[reanna-mator]

*facepalm* Hopefully you can at least use the box for something else. And you enjoy your blind bags!

I think that's the point of this post.. hahaha

LOL! TRU did that to me too! My kids enjoyed the huge boxes tho.

*rolls eyes at Hasbro*

 At least they got to you safely.

Everytime I order from Hasbroken I get a few ponies in a HUGE box with lots and lots of brown paper stuffing around them.  I will say though, from my experience with them, their cost for shipping is about right for what I order (in the US at least).  On the plus size, I almost always am able to re-use the big box ot then ship those ponies + others to my overseas friends. :-)
