@Darksider1972: Judging by your outcry, I'm going to guess you live in Los Angeles. Now, as a resident of Los Angeles, I'm going to assume you are familiar with our sprawling reach and massive traffic issues. Would you really want to start an experimental same-day delivery service here?
EDIT: …Aaaand everyone else beat me to the punch.
@Darksider1972: NYC has a much denser population. It's also very large, but you're more likely to be able to make a large number of deliveries in a small area. #retail
@Ryan_Long: I left my windows open this week. Your airborne particulate matter is all over my goddamn house. I'll thank you to come pick it up. #retail
Why all the hate? Did it ever occur to anyone that the trucker may be delivering one of only 5 remaining vials of Michael Jackson's breath? Do you know how many lives that could save? Do you know how much that would fetch on eBay?? Extraordinary cargo requires extraordinary safeguards. Perspective, people, perspective.
My uncle did this once with a gateway box. It was upside down and nearly crushed flat. He threw a bunch of ratchet straps in the box. Most likely this is what the dell box has in it.
Did it occur to anyone that the truck might have already delivered a load and this is just an incidental.
No one would bat an eye at a TOTALLY empty truck going down the road. This is actually less wasteful than that, but it gets everyone jumping to conclusions.
Where's the rule that a truck always has to be totally full or totally empty.
@GemmaHoddie: It occurred to us, but then we decided it was funnier to just assume Dell sucks at shipping. (The us being the general "Anybody" you were asking)
@GemmaHoddie: Most of us did... actually it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw the picture.
But I decided not to play the role of captain obvious today.
I did some trucking for about a year and this is very normal.
after you drop off your original large shipment, you might pick up a considerably smaller load.
In trucking an empty truck is a wasted truck.
I usually picked up small packages for people to drop off at my next site, this guy was just trying to be funny.

All deliveries to New New York will be frozen in cryogenic chambers and re-opened in the year 3000... #retail

Not their best effort IMO - I like II, III, and IV (vol 1) quite a bit better. This will keep growing on me though, I'm sure)
