Definitely! Once we had a huge box show up that was the length of my 3 year old. Inside? A fold-able pond scooper tool. I think I blogged about it as well 🙂
At work (a print shop) we get huge boxes and inside will be some tiny printer part. We asked the tech’s what the deal was and they said that the manufacturer had a deal with all the shipping companies and that size box was a flat rate one, no matter how heavy it was
I don’t know about your route, but my packages usually arrived dented and busted up, so I’d be happy for overpacking because then I’d stand a chance the item is still intact and not damaged. Make a playhouse out of the box! LOL =)

Haha, hilarious! I have no idea why would do this, were they out of smaller sized boxes? 🙂 Or is it to make things look more valuable?
That’s crazy!
oh my, that is too funny…lol
More than enough room for the item. Must have been the only box they had.
Wow. I am sure the little ones will find an inventive use for it.
