I know it looks like madness on the surface but you put a letter (or 
even a jiffy bag) into the back of a computer stacked set of boxes and 
its not going to get delivered, its going to slide off and end up at the 
bottom and not be found on the drop. Most of these things are computer 
arranged so the last in comes out at the first stop etc. The separation 
of invoicing from everything else is down to accountants wanting to keep 
their stuff separate cos they don't trust MS 'security' either. Security 
being the most important part of any computer setup but MS pretending it 
doesn't exist...
So it may look silly to get a flash pen drive in a 2' cubic box but it 
actually works out cheaper for all concerned.
Bring in laws on to make packaging enforceably re-usable....
