DigiKey goes bubble

My second order of 2025 from Digi-Key arrived in this:

with a pre-affixed return label !

The first time I've ever gotten anything from them that wasn't in a cardboard box.  Cardboard boxes are nice but they can make the shipment heavier - that was no problem when I used to mail in my order and DigiKey would pay the postage.  But now I buy online (those wacky Federal taxes become a problem if you don't pay them on the right items and have to mail in a second check) and I get stuck with the postage.  I shouldn't complain, at least they will still mail things.

One thing I never liked though was this stuff that DigiKey used for padding:

perforated brown paper rolled up and used as padding, it's kind of dirty (little flakes of paper) and heavy compared to bubble wrap.
