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.

I know what you are talking about. I once bought metal cones from Audiogon fellow. The packing was incredible.
I think, some people just do their best packing job almost regardless of what they are sending. That's good. I tend to do the same, but not to such extreme.
