really, yeti?

I love my Yeti mug. Use it for my coffee every morning.

But the other day I realize that the little piece on the top has disappeared.


This means my coffee doesn't stay hot, since the covering for the spout is now always open.

So I call Yeti. Get a very nice person on the phone. And she says she'll send me out a replacement piece.

A week goes by. 

One day my doorman hands me two packages.

I can't imagine what these are since I've recently ordered nothing.

I open them and both boxes appear to be filled only with paper.


But then, almost by chance, I find something that has some shape.


I unwrap it and find this:

Two separate boxes. 

One for each of two eensy weensy magnetic tops, both of which could have easily fit into a regularly sized letter envelope.

Oh, those poor trees.

  1. You should send this post to yeti and also post on Twitter with every Yeti, coffee, coffee cup, environment packing, hashtag. On the other hand - plastic, especially hot plastic is healthy either.

  2. On the flip side, I received a pair of shoes in the mail with zero packing other than shrink wrap with a mailing label plopped on it!
