I have a packaging fetish. I buy 5' x 10' sheets of cardboard from a local box manufacturer and make custom packages for any item with a dimension over 12" to minimize the shipping costs. I even developed a custom CAD template where I enter the dimensions of the item and the template tells me exactly where to cut or bend the cardboard.

We're definitely not complaining. I think it's great. I love your attention to detail (in everything expressed on this site...which is probably further exemplified in the rest of your life), and I'd imagine many (if not all) other members do as well. I don't think anyone is surprised.....your garage is cleaner and more organized than the inside of many homes (as are your vehicles).
