I offer the larger boxes to neighbors. Someone always needs boxes.

I do agree things are frequently packed in too-large boxes. Anyone
remember that free silly little cow-shaped cookie cutter from the butter
is best website? It came in a rather large box considering it was just
a small metal cookie cutter shaped like a cow. The postage they spent
per box was $3.95. I was already buying butter so I'm not sure what
they gained by that promotion.
