    Oh yeah, exactly! And the needles were on cardboard with a plastic blister packing holding them to the card. But I just thought it was funny! ... Let me see how much the shipping was ... $4.92. Oh Uh-Huh, that's a bit much!!
    You might think about calling the store complaining, nicely of course. If enough people would do that, they might make a change. Who knows, it could happen!!

    Was it from JA's? I have received things from them packed very similar.

    i think harbor freight is really crazy with their shipping. the blades are still a deal but really - why do i need a huge box for ten packs of blades that would fit in a bubble pack

    I ordered it from Craft-warehouse, but who knows where it really came from!

    You know, I photo'd the wrong box! The right one is even longer, but not quite as tall!

    I just ordered 5 packs of embroidery needles and had it sent the same way in a large box with bubble padding inside.
