A few years ago, I kid you not, I received a SINGLE stockinette (basically a fabric bandage type thing to go in a first aid kit) which was in a foot square box, and packed fully with bubble wrap and polistyrene filling!

Re: Aboxalypse now
I like that. The idea of a mouse strapped to a pallet appeals to my sense of humour
We've all had it happen at some point haven't we (not the mouse to strapped to a pallet) 
The other side of the coin is how much you can pay postage. As an example, I bought a set of monitor speakers from ebuyer some years ago.. think they were about £2.50 (and not worth that to be honest). Postage for these little tinkers was £7.50 
They didn't arrive strapped to a pallet either!
