I can explain that, it’s based on local post compliance laws.
The manufacturer already supplies it in the middle box, which is a valid parcel packaging for their country. However, when it’s being delivered in yours, that one is not allowed so they need to pack it up again in another box, the bottom one, that is an allowed packaging in your country.
This stuff can be absurd at times. And go really wild.

Is it just that the middle box is unmarked?
Usually it’s something about material types or thickness.
The weirdest packaging I’ve seen before was a bottle in a shipping box, inside another leak-proof box inside another non-leak-proof box.
The reason went as this:
- It was sent in the first box, which had cushioning so the bottle isn’t damaged in transit.
- It went through an export company that wanted to be helpful and added a leak proof extra box.
- Unlike the first box, this second one was not an acceptable type of box in the recipient country, so they wrapped it again.
And due to laws, usually it is now legally possible to take away any box, effectively replacing it. You’re not allowed to open/unseal other people’s mail basically.
YO DAWG I HEARD YOU LIKE BOXES
now build a box fort. Fort kickass.
Holy shit snacks! That sounds awesome!
It’s a lot of waste but they do this to prevent shipping damage and so they can stack them up higher
Yea. You should appreciate this. The extra boxes add to the security of the product and helps ensure it arrives to you intact.
If you had bought this at the store rather than shipping it, it would have come in a single box.
And I’ll put that box in another box, and I’ll mail that box to myself!
And when it arrives, I’ll smash it with a hammer!!
It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
It is for your cat. If you don’t have any then time to get a cat for your boxes.
At least they’re recyclable.

At least there are no cold solders on your slow cookers circuit boards.
So far…
Yeah, that poor circuit board
Slow cooker, complete with slow unboxing experience
It isn’t as if you’re in a hurry to eat.

Fra-gi-le. Must be Italian.
It’s a major award!
You’ll shoot your eye out.
Maybe the slow cooker mob is trying to send you a message
