over packing items---overkill?


I know I know---stop complaining.
Just so you know, I am 110% happy with this particular on-line retailer---

I just received (4 packs)200 Mofi inner plastic sleaves via UPS today. It was packed better than some tube amps I have been sent from other sellers----it was packed so well, I had to laugh and ask myself is this really nessesary? We are talking an item which in no way could sustain shipping damage.

It was double boxed, further protected between cardboard inserts in both boxes AND both boxes had shipping styrofoam peanuts. ---I will re-use the shipping material, but I'd imagine others may not-----making the packing job a bit, well a lot of Eco-unfriendly.

And if it wasn't packed well and another item or sharp object punctured the package in transit and ruined the first five or so sleeves then what would you post.
Cheers
