While their selection and prices for a huge variety of imported foods are arguably great, I can no longer be a regular Yummy Bazaar customer b/c their excessive packaging and total disregard for its environmental impact is unconscionable. I have been writing them for years asking them to stop swathing items in layers and layers of bubble wrap, even small tins of fish and sturdy cookie tins. My recent 12-item order, no kidding, included 152 inches of bubble wrap for 3 small items, only 2 of which were glass + 100 inches for a tin of cookies + 164 inches for 2 single-size drinks...a total of 400 inches or 33+ feet of bubble wrap! This does not even include the several pieces of wrap stuffed in the carton. Today I received a back order from Williams Sonoma, an 8 oz. glass jar, tossed loose in a carton with some brown paper, no wrapping at all, and it was fine. As consumers we can signal to companies that we do not condone such wastefulness by shopping elsewhere. I plan to use YB's website as I use Amazon, to find items and then purchase them in person elsewhere. Btw my local UPS store accepts bubble wrap for reuse.
