An online shopper was shocked when an Amazon product was delivered in a box so big that she could fit inside it.
The cardboard box, which measured 4ft by 2ft, was for a small boom pole used to hold a microphone, which was hidden inside with 30 feet of paper.
The £35.95 RØDE Micro Lightweight Boompole is just two feet long when not extended and came wrapped in plastic packaging.

Buyer Jade Nightscales, 26, said: 'I just couldn't believe the amount that came with it. The boom pole is so small - it was a bit of a needle in a haystack type job.
'It seems strange that they'd use this much wrapping but I'll get it recycled for sure.'
Ms Nightscales, who is 5ft 1in tall, added: 'I had to go one step further and climb inside because I knew I would fit.'
An Amazon spokesperson said: 'We continue to pursue multi-year waste reduction initiatives - e-commerce ready packaging and Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging - to promote easy-to-open, 100 per cent recyclable packaging and to ship products in their own packages without additional shipping boxes.
'Such efforts also seek to eliminate hard plastic 'clamshell' cases and the plastic-coated wire ties commonly used in toy packaging.
'These initiatives have grown to include more than 1.2 million products over time and have eliminated more than 36,000 tons of excess packaging just in 2015.'
