If only there was some time of "shipping etiquette" thread somewhere.Agreed. You know that they're saving a few bucks, but then again, maybe not that much. They can get light boxes that add very little weight. Look at Amazon's cardboard. It's light, thin, and strong. I can only imagine how pissed You get when the numbers are bent and creased. I meabn, what are You supposed to do? Iron a number that's 3/8" thick? You would probably burn it. The only way tho straighten it out would be repeated steaming, and sonmetimes steaming can discolor.
It's just all so freaking unnecessary. People are just clueless about what happens to the consumer. Like my Deep H2O for Flak XLJ. Oakley is only going to make so many for us die-hard Flak 1.0 guys. Then, full production will be flipped over to 2.0. In the long run, when more people discover how great the H2O Deep lense really is, some people will never get them. And idiots who pack them carelessly are destroying a commodity with a finite production number. Oh, well. Fools will be fools. And there are a LOT of them out there.
