Re:Packing algorithms don't just apply to shipping (Score 1)

Let's say a company like Amazon came up with a packing algorithm that allowed them to use 10% less packing material. Do you really think that would affect the price so much so that people would buy 10% more items from Amazon? I think that's highly unlikely. If people bought more goods, but less than 10% more goods, there would still be a net decrease in packing material.
