    Yup, they banged me $15 for puting my rubbermaid tote in a cardboard box.

    Billy why are they back charging you? I hope its not on a frame!?!

    Yup, mine was on the frame. It had the original billing amount and then a $10 and some change "adjustment" for "Irregular packaging w/o box". This is the first time they've done it on the invoice, so I dunno. Either they just started it, or they had been slacking before.
