Vacuum Packing

I got replacement filters for my Shark vacuum cleaner, the old ones are clogged solid because I forgot I need to clean them.



They arrived vacuum packed which seemed odd. When I unwrapped them they were only 1/4" thick instead of the 1" or so of the old one, I thought I had been conned.



By lunchtime they had grown to 1/2" and by evening the full 1", clever people these Chinese.



This may be common knowledge to the group but first time for me :-)


Ever bought a foam mattress?

Haven't noticed [m]any things I order getting vacuum-packed, but if they can ship 4x the amount per TEU ...

No, would I get a nice ride on one while it regenerates :-)

You would go up in the world, slowly.

Unlike the comedy sketches with a self-inflating life raft in a small room.
