Anyone else gotten these new boxes from Sanmar? This alone will make me go back to S&S.

I dont think going back to S&S will help... I get that crap from both.

Along with every day I am missing something, from both.

I was missing a few items (which knock on wood, does not happen often) and I mentioned the boxes, which come from the Virginia warehouse, and she said there were some complaints. If you're not careful opening them they're not reusable. My rep sent me a video on the proper way to open a box. https://vimeo.com/1080650754/8940e9e1da?share=copy This has got to be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

So now it takes 45 seconds to open a BOX and they recommend a knife to do so..........I feel like an old man yelling at clouds but come on, let's stop trying to improve and be progressive. If something works, leave it alone. Only engineers can overcomplicate a BOX....what's the logic here, I can not find the angle.. Less waste? Reusable? NO TAPE.....?

Sanmar sales rep was in and was telling me about the new packaging where the computer AI knows the exact volume of the contents and creates a box and seals it.  Sounds like what he described.

That warehouse is all automated. They didn't do it for our ease of use.

I'd rather eat other people than bugs.

Probably shouldn't say that outloud
