Rate My Package

Jul 28, 2010 10:22

I just noticed, on a recent Amazon packet, that it included the invitation to "Rate this packaging", at www.amazon.co.uk/packaging. Intrigued, I investigated further. It seems you can rate it from for degree of protection afforded, for appropriateness of size, and for ease of opening; and you can add freeform comments and even upload photos (of ( Read more... )

I can see this being both useful and satisfying if you recieve something damaged due to poor packaging - you whizz on and click the button marked CRAP.
For anyone smaller than Amazon it wouldn't be worthwhile, but for them it's worth doing - benefits of scale FTW.

So far I have found their packaging pretty uniformly good, but sadly they will never know. Unless they want to just infer that from my lack of complaint.

I found out about it recently but at the same time as I received an inappropriately packaged parcel where the contents had started to fall out, so providing feedback was actually useful. On the other hand, I resent the ever-increasing demands for feedback on thing I generally don't wish to comment on so wish they'd stop forcing it on me.

I'd only be bothered if there was some sort of screw-up. Although it's just possible I'd comment if the package design was seriously smart. Mostly ignore, though.

I think I must be growing up a little. I scrolled past your post title on my flist several times without sniggering!

If only I could say I wrote it without sniggering...

No buttons represent my reaction which was 'OK, didn't know that, but not Yikes!' and 'I may do, now it's an option, but neither assiduously or vigorously one way or the other.'

It is unusual for me not to be black-and-white about things. So thanks for finding the issue on which I'm not. It makes me feel really chilled out. cool, dude.

Sounds like you are the classical 'excluded middle'. Well, I guess if there is an issue to not feel bivalent about, packaging is probably it.
