Can beat that! Had a TV delivered, with free ear buds. Ear bud box is 90 x 90 x 60mm.
Box containing Ear Bud box was 400 x 300 x 200mm!

Someone trying to apply covid isolation distances to packaging ??

There are apparently shortages of everything at the moment, steel, timber, processor chips etc. Try ordering steel from British Steel at the moment. I blame Brexit myself!

No shortage of cardboard by the look of it, although at this rate there will be!

They've probably used up the smaller boxes, just left with the larger.

Just like to disguise small items!
Or maybe to ensure the small items don't get lost.

The wiper nearly got lost in the internal packaging!

Isn't this the wrong wiper? AR70N in my books.

Afternoon,

I’ve always purchased the Bosch AeroTwin AP30U wiper . Works and fits perfectly. Even comes with the correct adapter.

Kind regards,

Tom

AR70N is for the earlier style wiper arm with the big hook. AP30U is for the later arm with aero blade fitting.

Thanks for the clarification Ian,

I thought I was always purchasing the wrong item for a moment.

Kind regards,

Tom

Regardless of the size, very civilised of them to draw you a picture of the wiper on the outside of the box Steve... Even showing you which way up it goes.

Yes, it only seems to move in one direction though! Single use wiper?

Or is it pointing to the arrows that show the box is upside down.

By the way the “70” in the part number AR70n refers to the length in cm (70 cm is around 28”)

The “30” in the AP30u refers to the length in inches. (30” is around 75cm)

Just a piece of useless trivia!
