For a retail store, you need to have packaging that doesn't come apart in 2 seconds flat, otherwise that's just how long it will take for your product to walk out the door. Don't get me wrong - I hate the annoying packages, but the fault lies with thieves, not the manufacturer or store.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zorn]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 26th 2009 8:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/amazon-announces-next-wave-of-frustration-free-packaging/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/amazon-announces-next-wave-of-frustration-free-packaging/</guid><description><![CDATA[Those look lethal]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ProfessorKaos]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 26th 2009 8:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/amazon-announces-next-wave-of-frustration-free-packaging/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/26/amazon-announces-next-wave-of-frustration-free-packaging/</guid><description><![CDATA[Amazon needs to learn how to pack vinyl.

Not all items are more, but if money is an issue you probably should just get your grandchildren to open it for you. Oh, and for all you emo's (don't cry): all savings to the environment are lost the moment they put your item in a box five times the size and weight of the contents. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[FrustrationFee?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 27th 2009 5:47PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
