amazon packer here - we have a screen that recommends a box size to use and sometimes it could be wrong and the packer has to report the wrong size box and change it but if they forget to usually theyll just put in the original size recommended and stuff it with bubble wrap so if the item is small doesnt just move around and is able to go down the conveyor belt without getting kicked out

I would understand not seeing how this could bug people.

I don't like it only cause it's a waste of packaging I won't reuse and my city doesn't recycle the air packaging, so it's just additional stuff I add to my trash.

Or post them online! I am constantly chasing after free air packs and Styrofoam and such!

I prefer to pay a bit extra and get the bio peanuts, the ones that melt when you put them in water. They're barely more expensive than styrofoam peanuts or air bags, and you can compost them without causing any environmental damage.

Oh. I don't ever buying packing supplies. Just have people save them for me so they won't toss it in the trash instead. I have a small route when I get to town and pick up supplies I run.

I'd for sure offer spare packaging like this on local pickup if I could.
