    Never understood that. Put the item directly against a part of the box that can still be damaged. I mean I understand it’s easier to toss in an item and cover it up rather than wrapping it but still. You want the item closer to the middle of the box

      That would be ideal, sure, but simply getting rid of the extra space that would allow the item to bounce around inside the box is very useful too.

      Many items are already packaged to protect them from damage in transit. If it’s already in a box with Styrofoam inserts, there isn’t as much value on wrapping it again.

      That said, there are countless items at Amazon that are not protected like that. Amazon also won’t pay their employees enough to care, nor give them the time to make any such decisions.
