Anoop sent us a photo of his very first Soap.com order, labeling it “the most egregious overpacking [that he’s] seen.” We’ve seen worse, but it’s still pretty bad.

He sent us this note along with the photo:

This was my first order with Soap.com. I ordered 2 5lb bags of flour, 2 1.5lb bags of oats, and 3 5oz bottles of hot sauce. I received a huge box that’s nearly 10x bigger than it needs to be with my order along one edge and the rest filled up with air bags.

At least it would have made more sense to put the items in the middle of the air bags. Wouldn’t it?
