An Amazon customer has blasted the firm's 'absolutely ridiculous' packaging after they put a single net curtain rod in a box almost the size of his dining table.

一位亚马逊的顾客吐槽自己在该购物平台上网购了一根窗帘杆，结果收到了一个有餐台那么大的包裹，实在是太夸张可笑了。

Mark Waddington, of Skipton, North Yorkshire, ordered the 70cm by 1cm rod from the firm from the website for £10.49.

北约克郡斯基普顿的Mark Waddington在亚马逊上订购了一根价值10.49英镑，长70厘米直径1厘米的窗帘杆。

But to his disbelief, the item arrived in a box that he estimates could have contained up to 50 of the rods.

让他觉得不可思议的是，他收到的包裹包装足以装下50个窗帘杆。

The 29-year-old posted an image to the firm's Facebook page, writing: 'I genuinely cannot believe how wasteful your packaging is here. Absolutely ridiculous.'

现年29岁的他在脸书上放上照片，并写道：“我不敢相信亚马逊这个包装这么浪费，这次超级荒唐可笑。”

He added: 'The packaging is always either ridiculously too much, or not enough. I ordered a can of spray paint and the can was hanging out of the bottom of the packaging.

他还说：“要不就是包装过度要不就是包装不到位，我之前买过一瓶油漆喷雾，收到的时候瓶子的底部都从包装里面漏出来了。”

The professional magician, who bought the item on Amazon from Ians Emporium, said today: 'When the box turned up I couldn't work out what I'd ordered that would need such a big box.

这位从亚马逊上订购从Ians Emporium寄来商品的专业魔术师说：“等收到这个盒子的时候，我实在想不出我到底定了什么，需要这么大的一个箱子。”

'I opened the packaging and saw it was the pole and I couldn't help but laugh. I know the packaging is all recyclable but it just felt so wasteful.

“当我打开包裹看到这个窗帘杆的时候，我忍不住笑了，我知道这个包装是完全可以循环利用的，但是还是让人感觉很浪费。”

Amazon apologised to the customer on Facebook: 'Thank you for highlighting this to us. I've forwarded your feedback along to our packaging team for their review. I'm sorry for the frustration and inconvenience.'

亚马逊在该用户的脸书上道歉写道：“感谢你向我们提出这一点，我已经将你的反馈提交到包装部门，很遗憾给你造成不安和不便。”
