VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

Bailey · Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2009 10:43 am Post subject: Way OT - Non VO - Observation

I have been repairing a Whirlpool glass cook top.
Parts were ordered and received, but a Bumper was back-ordered.
The Bumper was received yesterday.
... I'll let the photos speak.

You should send these pics to Consumerist.com. They always feature stories about ridiculous, wasteful packaging.

Ya know, that itty-bitty thing looks mighty fragile. I'm glad the company took the care to protect it so thoroughly.

Shocked

And now, ladies and gentlemen, here he is, your Whirlpool Shipping Clerk of the Year Award winner!

We'd show you his award plaque but he's already accidentally wrapped it in a 55 gallon drum and shipped it to the Falkland Islands.

The same shipping clerk probably crammed/stomped/duct-taped a Whirlpool microwave into the 3"X3" box meant for you and sent it out.

Looks like the packaging lobby was behind this. Or the packaging union. Holy frack.
