Chief Cohiba Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Guys, a bit late but definitely wanted to share and post this! When I ordered the Merit Duck this summer, I've added your bunch of usually Eduard stuff and masks around it - and this is how it arrived: Isn't that great? They all stuffed it in one box and wrote a small letter to it, reducing packaging material to the minimum with such a simple yet effective measure. Now, this means it is not your usual eco-friendly blubber as any company segregates nowadays, but an actual and effective measure they take. Though this seems a small gesture, it nevertheless takes someone to open the box, but the stuff in, and at least invest a little bit of brainwork and manual labour. Say, this will take a minute; not much, but think they'll do it as a policy - which they do, otherwise there wouldn't be a preprinted sheet - and you have an impressive number that Hannants invests to reduce the ecological footprint of our hobby. That's a serious bunch of motivation for me, to order from them - just to add my 5 cent for the environment. A seriously big 👍 from me on that! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've had a few orders like that this year without the note and it looked like only half the order arrived until I started opening boxes! Presumably the reason for the notes. It makes sense, a lot of kits have huge amounts of extra space in the box - see Miniart diorama accessories! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Yes, that's a common Hannants practice - even when there's room in the outer box they have a habit of packaging small items in a kit box, presumably this also cuts down on customers inadvertently binning these when eagerly disposing of any padding to get at the bigger goodies contained within! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Seems like a very sensible policy to me. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 yup, I too have received orders packed that way Sometimes with and sometimes without the letter. Good fun going through the boxes to find those wee packs of resin parts or decals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter96 Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 We live in a supremely "over packaged" world, so any measure to cut the use of paper, bubble-wrap, brown-tape, etc, etc has to be a good thing. Chris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
