Good point. What if your item is faulty? The store manager can say that they have a policy of only accepting returned items in their original undammaged packing

In which case I would ask them how we, the customer, can open up the packing without annihilating it(!?!)

Manufactures make unnecessarily over-sized boxes to draw attention:
Microsoft and Logitec come to mind. Their mouse packaging is insane ..

"hey .. look at me .. I am a really special mouse. You will buy me"

I steer well clear of this type of product!
Crickey, the Eee PC comes in a smaller box than some of the mice I have seen on sale

I have set up a petition as a starting point now ..
