Gods, I wish bigger companies wrapped things up like this.
Unboxed package from Goulet Pens.
What you are looking at is a two layer thick envelope of bubble wrap.
Within the envelope of bubble wrap is 11 foot length of cling wrap to keep the items from shifting around.
All of this for 30 Rhodia notepads/dotpads, a notepad cover, and a fountain pen. Nothing fragile at all.
A merchant sourcing itself from Amazon's gaping warehousegina sent the 90 dollar microphone I bought for my mom in its packaging rattling freely in a large shipping box. Yes, Shure mics are built like bricks, but it's still a piece of electronics.
