Anyone know why things are starting to show up in GIGANTIC paper packages which are 10 times the size of the part? Ridiculous. Like trying to put a file cabinet through a mail slot when it comes to putting them in their bin locations.

One guy in DFOAB was concerned because those paper packages are coming in with no part inside due to the ends coming open. Parts that once fit in a drawer now take up shelf space. I guess we should not complain.......we're at least getting parts.

Was thinking this was to do with the single use plastics ban up here in Canada.

I've got 2 gaskets that used to be in plastic, One from USA and one From Mexico. :lol:


Gotta Love it!!!

I noticed that in our storage area recently and about nearly died. I get trying to protect it to prevent issues but this is a bit much.
