Now...

...if ya wanna talk ridiculous packaging...

All listed as despatched on the same day, except the Skittles came in their own cardboard package. The rest was in one box with plenty of room.

I suspect this is probably due to items being despatched from two different distribution warehouses that will be miles apart.
I raised this issue with someone in my family who used to work in John Lewis hQ when a four item order arrived in three boxes. He explained it is just more cost effective 'by a long way' to operate in this way than maintain depots with all stock items.

I concur, but I would rather they found a better way.
