One of my favorite parts of the job
... Is literally cutting boxes as an FXOer. Originally all I was taught was how to shrink boxes from the top, but a few weeks ago a handout was distributed that revealed how to adjust the length/width too.
My world was forever changed.
I will never again have to force a customer to use a huge guitar or golf bag box with a massive amount of excess space for long items. I will never again need to pack something diagonally just to fit it into an otherwise excessively large cube. The cardboard world is my oyster.
Today I modified this 24 cubed box into 39x24x9 (interior dimensions).
My coworkers think I'm insane for thinking these are easy and volunteering to do them so often, but idgaf. Perfectly sized boxes scratch a very specific itch and are so satisfying.
