Last week I was sent a gift through NetFlorist. I thought maybe it was in response to my recent post about their exorbitant spend on systems, but alas, this blog is not that famous yet. 

There was an outer brown box that took the brunt of the journey here (they use RAM, and everything seemed fine. We haven't tried them yet). Inside the brown box was a classy black box with lid, ribbon printed with the NetFlorist logo, and a handwritten card that presumably the sender had composed online.

Inside the box was a Sally Williams nougat extravaganza. Don't click the thumbnail on an empty stomache! The nougat boxes and loose items fitted snugly in the black box and were interspersed with raffia and tissue paper. In summary, it was a delight to open.

We are still working on our packaging situation, as shown by this picture where our fulfillment department is cutting a bigger box down to size. We've said it before and we'll say it again - there is a big opportunity for a box/packaging company to clean up the SA e-commerce market. We would go online today and order a bunch of different sized boxes, and we'd pay to get them here. Surely we're not the only ones who are battling?
