yes its sometimes larger than required but us fickle consumers would be pretty annoyed if the goods were always sent and damaged in the post, and ive never had a damaged item from playTarget Savings by end 2009: 20,000

I am not ordering from Play again, ordered a Pogo from them (little picture printer, you can print from the mobile) for daughters xmas pressie. They had just put it in a plastic envelope meaning the box was all dented and bashed, NOT a good look for a present!
Sounds like they got the packaging mixed up with the OP's order. Perhaps the pogo was meant to go in the box, and the teeshirts in the plastic bag. :rolleyes:0 -
If its all recycled then im also for it.if its not,theres no point much0

edgex, they were T Shirts.
Dave101t, the problem is Im rarely in in the daytimes, this meant that my orders would fit through the letterbox, if I miss a delivery now I'll have to go down to the sorting office to collect it, something which could take me up to a week to get the chance to do.
Yes, its cardboard and recycled here, but the inside bag is still the same sized plastic bag they used to originally ship in, therefore Play are doubling the packaging and generally making life more inconvenient for customers.0 -
I placed an order for 2 x 24" monitors, which came together, and 3 x SD cards, which each came in its own mahoosive box, wasnt worth a moan, the cats played in the boxs for a couple of hours then I binned them.0

Lol, probably, although the van man looked knackered as well0 -

I've only ever had problems over Christmas when I guess they ran out of reasonable size packaging. Stupid I know but I suppose it can happen.Wedding 5th September 20150
