Several things can go wrong when you receive a package from an online purchase. In the best case, it arrives on time and undamaged, but some consumers aren't so lucky. Lately, though, a rather strange, even absurd, habit has emerged: the completely disproportionate use of packaging and wrapping in shipments. Anyone understands the need to protect the contents, but the images you're about to see defy logic.

You never know what you'll get in a package. It all depends on a long chain: the seller's responsibility, the shipping method the consumer paid for, and the distribution staff. It's easy to conclude you've seen it all, but now we're entering the era of ridiculous packaging.
