hp sends customer a boxful of stupid – or did they?
NotebookReview forum member chrixx ordered something from HP. He got what he asked for, but he wasn’t prepared for this:
chrixx claims that that’s a 10kg (22 lbs) wooden pallet. See what I’m getting at? He orders a tiny thing, something that should only weigh “barely 300g”, and he ends up with this monstrosity: “…I had to drag this pellet [sic] from my apartment lobby, into the lift, out of the lift, into my home, cut it open, remove the contents and discard all the junk packaging.”
I think chrixx shouldn’t complain about removing the contents of the box – come on man – but damn HP. Your packaging peeps must have been high or bored when they processed this, because all that chrixx ordered was…
… a power cord. How about it guys? You think this is real or what?

WTF!!!
Is this real?
Damn! I think he went so (F) high!
By the way how much did you pay for the shipping fees?
Where I work sometimes we get shipments of one screen protector or a USB cable in a box roughly 24″ x 24″ x 12″ so I can understand that companies don’t pay any attention to what they are shipping sometimes and throw sense out the window
Well why it was a ridiculous amount of packaging at least nothing was broken right?
incredible!
I have no reason to doubt this, given what HP has done in the past:
