I'd like to start off saying that I work manual labor in an Amazon Fullfillment Facility, aka the shipping warehouse for Amazon in Kent, Washington. We load packages onto palates for USPS to deliver to people's homes. We get a lot of Graco, Cosco, Britax, DIONO **i have yet to spot boxes for the Solana, Monterey, Cambria, Olympia, and Little Tikes models** and Evenflo items, especially car seats, like the Graco Affix and Turbo Boosters are most common, followed by the Nautilus, Evenflo Big Kid, and Britax Marathon CT. Tonight I saw a Harmony Defender box for the first time.
My question is this: why do the Nautilus car seats get packaged in YELLOW/GRAY boxes instead of the photo/marketing/retail box, same for the Turbo and occasional Snugride seats and the Affix?
I also saw the print on the Defender box was only all black-and-white print, is that a warehouse package style thing or is it more common? Same goes for BOB Jogger strollers in brown cardboard narrow boxes, and Cosco budget car seats (not my fave due to lack of padding and room for growth) in narrow blue/white boxes.There's really no other place to post this question on the Internet, I've tried googling the terms but can't find a sufficient answer. **side note: Evenflo and Britax boxes are the same as they are at Target, which makes me ponder this conundrum even more**
I hope I get a reply, I'm constantly finding myself in an overanalyzing of car seats rut at my job, and I NEED TO KNOW WHY the boxes are so different!
