I was a bit pissed off, as I reckon they just wanted to get rid of their boxes rather than have to throw them out.

The parts could have fitted in a box 1/10th of the size.

I will never order again without a firm shipping quote.

Try asking them when ordering to use the smallest box necessary to save of shipping. Could be that the people that package the stuff are used to just shipping by weight and not size. It's worth a try.
