I just recieved 16 31"Bessey K body clamps from amazon today. I could not stop laughing when the UPS driver put 16 big boxes on my porch! The boxes where 40"x 12"x12".

I ordered some on sale too and couldn't believe the size of the boxes they are indvidually packaged in:eek: You would think it would be cheaper to bubble wrap them and toss them in a single box; I'm sure mother nature wouldn't mind!

I ordered 4 clamps from Wetzler recently (12" long, 4" jaws), and they arrived in one box, with lots of newspaper used as packing material. That was it. I felt good being able to recycle all of the packaging.

I got a visual of your porch. Made me smile. Thanks! Save the boxes to store you leftover Xmas wrapping paper rolls in ;-)

You know what, be glad you didn't get the 30 piece bar clamp set. Came bundled up in two boxes. No packing material. Mine were all dinged up. No functional damage so I kept them. See the reviews:

Be happy you got the white glove treatment.
