I buy a lot of stuff on line and it all arrives in oversize cartons,
if I didn't compress it into the smallest volume posssible I'd never
fit it into my recyclables bin. Sometimes I can't fit it all in but
not always, like now I have all the large cartons from my new well
pressure tank and all its attachments, I'll get rid of it over the
next few weeks... and I still have the large carton from my new Weber
grill. The weather hasn't been cooperative to assemble it, raining
like it would flood Noah's Ark... I'll eventually get to it.

My neighbors have plenty of their own cartons, they'd think I was nuts
offering them mine... these are huge cartons, not the size someone
would want for normal shipping. Most people use the post office
cartons, the price includes postage, I use those often.
