A MUM who ordered a kitchen mop on Amazon was surprised when it arrived in a field sufficiently big for a 50-in TV.
Alison Whitehead, 58, stated the £15, 3ft steel flooring cleaner was unfastened within the 5ft by 2ft 6in by 1ft cardboard container.
Waitress Alison stated it was so giant the driving force may barely carry it.
The mum of two, who's married to brickie Michael, 55, in Bourne, Lincs, stated: “Speak about sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“That field was fully bonkers. It was so large it was working in opposition to the Amazon driver.
“He laughed once I instructed him what was in it. Even a paper bag would’ve been higher!”
Demand for cardboard bins has rocketed amid a supply-chain disaster simply earlier than Christmas.
An Amazon spokeswoman stated: “Amazon is dedicated to decreasing packaging waste and utilizing much less packaging materials.
"Initiatives just like the Frustration-Free Packaging Programmes encourage producers to bundle their merchandise in an easy-to-open packaging that's 100% recyclable and able to ship to prospects with out Amazon bins.
"To this point, Amazon has diminished the burden of outbound packaging by 36% and eradicated greater than 1 million tonnes of packaging materials, the equal of greater than 2 billion transport bins.”
