I used to deal with a Stationary Company - Viking. For some time they took the decision that they'd use one size Box for everything possible, or at least that's the only explanation I could think of. The Box in question was about 24" x 18" and around 6" thick. I'd order an Inkjet Cartridge and sure enough, next day, Ding-Dong on the Bell and there was the giant Box with a lonely Cartridge taped down in the middle.
After a bit they must have decided it wasn't economic and things would arrive in more sensible packaging. Still, it's better than flimsy packaging which results in damage to the contents.
Turned Pin Sockets are very good but not really designed for a lot of insertions/withdrawals. If that's what you want to do you're better off with Side-wipes or ZIFs.
