With the arrival of my 3DR radio, I discovered that I had quite a collection of boxes from open source hardware companies. I think it's safe to say they may be setting the pace in the world of electronics delivery packaging!

Nice one! It looks like your electronics tinkering habit is now officially out of control ;-)

Thanks Chris. Pre-APM I was a happy coder typing away contentedly on my laptop. I won't forget that this was all your fault! :-)

In this hobby the Fedex guy is like your dealer. You wait anxiously by the door, shaking with anticipation for the latest "hit" to arrive.
I have a similar collection of boxes, reflecting what has become a seriously addictive habit. I may need a UAV intervention. Perhaps we should start as support group. I know my spouse is ready to start one ;-)

@Andreas In my case, UPS, Fedex and USPS! yeah all of them.
About the support group: I second that! :-)
Less ink means more environment-friendly :-)

I LOL'd at this:
As a reference point, the final container is the incredibly well reviewed box from our favorite uncle in Hong Kong who regularly sends us boxes of gifts with a negligable cash value. Cheap, somewhat shabby, and taped to the hilt, it is the reference point for utilitarian delivery of goods from one continent to another.
Uncle Chung is definitely my favorite uncle!
Comment by Ellison Chan on April 22, 2012 at 3:56pm I need to add to my collection. I only recognize the brown one from HK and the red from Sparkfun. I need one of those black ones. The SeedStudio one must be new. I haven't ordered from them in over a year.
