My daughter's friend used to pack orders for Amazon and she said the reason that happens is they run out of the right size boxes at their station and are too lazy to walk over and get more so they fill orders the rest of the day with whatever they have.

This explains a lot about the random boxing. I had a large box arrive the other day filled with air pillows and what I thought was an empty box. Upon removal of the packing I had discovered my item had slipped under one of the flaps. Sheesh.
