Yea. You should appreciate this. The extra boxes add to the security of the product and helps ensure it arrives to you intact.

If you had bought this at the store rather than shipping it, it would have come in a single box.

And I'll put that box in another box, and I'll mail that box to myself!

I can explain that, it's based on local post compliance laws.

The manufacturer already supplies it in the middle box, which is a valid parcel packaging for their country. However, when it's being delivered in yours, that one is not allowed so they need to pack it up again in another box, the bottom one, that is an allowed packaging in your country.

This stuff can be absurd at times. And go really wild.

It's a lot of waste but they do this to prevent shipping damage and so they can stack them up higher
