I prefer the natural smell of the popcorn in the parcel instead of the horrible smell of the ink on the old shredded paper. As for protecting the goods, well, I had a huge box of Lush delivered from Poole to Spain last year (when I say huge, I mean huge) and it had ballistics, glass, all sorts of things in it. It all arrived perfectly and the couriers had not been too delicate with the box either. In fact, I was so impressed by the popcorn, I took some pictures of the box! anyway, just wanted to say, I think the popcorn rocks.Parkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846646246405890397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56813279097013444.post-26943437640026272392007-12-27T13:08:00.000-08:002007-12-27T13:08:00.000-08:00Noooooo!!!!!

I have emailed the Customer Service Dept. as I bought 2 Christmas Star boxes as gifts, the contents of which were almost completely obliterated. There was hardly any popcorn used as packing in the boxes, and the stuff that was there just kind of rolled around pathetically and left nasty greasy stains on the inside of the box. Yuck! This the a bad idea!! I know you are trying to be 'green' and I support that APART from when it turns into a waste of hard earned cash for the customer!These Arcane Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263837757048550784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56813279097013444.post-273483563912184552007-11-30T19:22:00.000-08:002007-11-30T19:22:00.000-08:00I love the popcorn idea.

I can't help munching it :-s<BR/><BR/>Plus, our local recycling scheme will no longer take shredded paper in case it contains staples (although they'll still take stapled papers and magazines) but the popcorn can go in the food waste bin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56813279097013444.post-84238389069665638752007-11-27T00:08:00.000-08:002007-11-27T00:08:00.000-08:00I have to say that this is a wonderful idea.

I ordered a lot of pressies for christmas which arrived a few days ago and they were all in perfect condition.<BR/>Best of all I didn't have to feel guilty about waste packaging, keep up the good work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56813279097013444.post-31141762735787156702007-10-29T08:48:00.000-07:002007-10-29T08:48:00.000-07:00This is so revolting.

You are putting bare unwrapped products in boxes of popcorn? There are far better, more environmentally sound ways to package. What a sickening mess. You can't gift anyone the LUSH prepackaged gifts as they are arriving so very nasty. You can't feed birds the popcorn covered as it is with the broken bits and the dust of the bombs, and bubble bars. No more Lush for me. And trust me, - if people are giving these as gifts they will be so humiliated you will be losing more customers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56813279097013444.post-81152956326857729832007-10-27T20:26:00.000-07:002007-10-27T20:26:00.000-07:00When my friend told me this idea that you were goi...When my friend told me this idea that you were going to do a few months ago I was like you clever cookies. Its so original and inventive, yet so simplistic. Your post covers the issues of why and how this simple idea has such a huge environmental impact.<BR/><BR/>For example according to uk government figures each tonne of paper uses or emits;<BR/><BR/>17 trees,<BR/>31 000 litres of water,<BR/>4 000KWh of electricity,<BR/>1 600 litres of oil,<BR/>2.6t of airbourne pollutants<BR/>2.3m3 in landfills (assuming its not recycled or composted)<BR/><BR/>Its a shame to hear that your potential LED suppliers / installers are letting you down. I know if I had LUSH asking me to install eco things, I would be making sure you got preferential treatment, not least the potential referrals that such a job would create.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the innovation.adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210699265532881640noreply@blogger.com
