The little lady ordered up a pair of running shoes from FinishLine.com recently and, wouldn’t you know it, the tiny 12” x 7” x 4” shoebox was shipped in a gigantic 19” x 19” x 19” box devoid of padding, air bubbles, or any other type of filler.

So FinishLine.com, I salute you. Your commitment to using as much cardboard as possible is a refreshing change of pace in a world gone green. My wife will enjoy her new shoes, while I will enjoy spending the rest of the afternoon building a fort in the living room.
