So, I wrestled with the new site, gawped at the increased postage rates, and ordered yesterday.

Now I understand the increase. A pretty small order arrived in the usual labelled bags, inside two more large bags, inside an enormous Fedex box (why???) wrapped up in brown paper. Even my postman was surprised (and he's used to the regular deliveries of Cookies' jiffy bags).

At a time when we're supposed to be trying to be greener, is it really necessary to add so much extra packaging? I've never had a problem with the old padded bags, and happily reused them) but wonder what on earth I'm meant to do with these great big pizza boxes, let alone why I'm having to pay extra for a load of cardboard and paper I really don't want and can't reuse.
