My company has a bad, bad tendency to put a small drive component, for internal shipping, in a ginormous box. A coworker of mine once got about a hundred HGAs, which probably fill up volume equal to a box an inch high, and maybe the size of a piece of paper in cross section (80 cu in or so).
It came in so many boxes it filled up his 8'x8' cube, to eye level. They shipped it in groups of only a few each, and each group came in an 8x8x8" box, which itself was in a 1' x 1.5' x 2' box filled with packing material.
To your own device, I suspect that they got a half billion boxes of a certain type for a good deal less money than tailoring packaging would be.
