The crazy over sized box has what seems to be a shipping label on it. I assume the package was put on a pallet by DHL once received. Very curious to know what the reasoning behind it is.

They're probably in some city where DHL has like, one customer.

Some main hub sorting centres can't "handle" single boxes, there's nothing but forklifts and pallets. If their city can't be pushed together with another area, then they get a pallet.

The box, however, was packed by someone who has shipped with DHL before...

My favourite was a person that ordered 36 replacement server case screws from Compaq. It arrived on a palette, each screw in a zip lock baggie, in a foam padded box, inside another box, then those 36 boxes inside another larger box, then that strapped to the palette.

I was gonna say, this looks like whoever packed this was trained by someone at Hewlett-Packard.

My favourite was one largely unbreakable tiny item in a big box filled with soft foam thingies. I even had those plastic straps around the box to keep it all tight and secure? The item cost me $7 and postage was free.
