A Mystery Parcel

I got a parcel today, it was a huge square box and I had no idea what it was.  I opened the box, to reveal  mounds of bubble wrap around two large inner boxes.  I removed more bubble wrap from inside these two inner boxes and in one found four small boxes, in the other four items wrapped in even more bubble wrap.  I opend the boxes and wrap to find eight glass candle holders I'd recently ordered, the total cost of my order was £8.90, surely the cost of the packaging alone!  Whatever happened to saving resources?  LOL!
