That M-1000 glass box is obnoxiously large

Only way to protect it during shipping.

Just use packing peanuts and it'll survive. you could probably fit two glasses in there.

Who said I was shipping this out?? Oh, and this is how it was packed at the factory. So the box was never even opened.

Nobody did. I was saying that GE could've gotten away with using a smaller box and packing peanuts isntead of using a massive box. It probably would have made shipping a little less of a burden. I guess a bigger box has less of a chance of breaking the precious cargo inside though. did you ever open the box to make sure the glass was okay though?

That's riiiggggghhhhtt! Check out one of my earlier pics of the box I did open. As to opening this box, I transported the glass myself in the back seat of my car. That and there was no rattling either.
