Then bin it and stop moaning  :rolleye:

Or you could ceremoniously burn it if it makes you feel better. How much of this polystuff you are complaining about is there anyway? - It's sounding like you can't get through the door for the stuff.

I will do....  :P

Just wondering why they feel the need to package car cleaning products in 4 billion pieces of foam? They are not fragile items.... seems very wasteful.

Anyone else noticed this?

I have this issue too when ordering from them  :signLOL:

But is anyone else always tempted to eat one or two of them to make sure they're not Wotsists?

I usually order lots of bits and bobs at once from them so never noticed their love of packaging until my last order of a single Clay Bar and yes it came in a box big enough for 100 clay bars.

Maybe they've had complaints in the past re bad packaging and have gone completely in the opposite direction.

At the end of the day all cleaning products contain chemicals, some more hazardous than others, so they're probably playing safe on more than one front.

.....That did cross my mind too. Also, their packaging methods are probably standardised for everything they ship.

Dash clocks need packaging like a baby.... a bottle of ironx doesnt.  :happy2:

Have you smelt iron x? If that stuff leaked anywhere from pick up to delivery then it would cause some damage and rotten eggs smell forever. I think he's just playing safe as I bet previous experience has forced quality packaging.

Rich have you never bought anything from anywhere else??? I use elitecarcare, autobrite, serious performance etc and they all do the same. Hell, I've had Amazon send me items in huge boxes when they could have been put in a jiffy bag.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

.....Perhaps the intention is to reduce the risk of puncturing the product in the first place, and hence leading to leaking.

Knowing your excellent photographic skills, Rich, you have no excuse! Self-portrait with just your face exposed in a box of your favourite white polystuffing? - Kind of an image of you getting drowned in the stuff! I'm sure that Laura would help you  :evilgrin:
