from the 19-meters dept.

An exasperated Amazon customer has posted a video of 62ft of wrapping paper snaking through his house - that was used to "protect" dog food.

Nick Taylor said the box used to deliver the bag of food was "big enough to live in" and claimed the food didn't need to be packaged at all.

Nick laid out the 19-metres of packaging paper in his home in Bath and posted the video to Amazon's Facebook page.

The trail starts in what appears to be a utility room and leads in to a dining area before entering the kitchen itself.

From there the paper enters the hall, where the dog food can be glimpsed in its heavy plastic packaging.

    Some years ago there were photos by a guy who had received a small expansion card for an HP printer and it came in bulky packaging stapled to a fork lift truck pallette. Could not even get it through his front door.

    Again, there was a Windows upgrade (95->98 ?) by mail order that turned out to be a paper coupon that you took to a shop to exchange for the upgrade CD. Cutomers who thought they were receiving the actual upgrade by post were pissed off, especially as the slip of paper arrived (in one guy's words) in a box "big enough to hold a man's head".
