By pure coincidence, myself and someone else in the office ordered LEDs from Premier Farnell companies on the same day last week.
I ordered 25 amber LEDs for a medevac beacon from Farnell Components, which arrived in a plastic tube and an envelope.
A colleague ordered 50 red LEDs for an astronomical observatory lighting project from CPC, which arrived in 50 small clear polythene gripseal bags, each of which was inside a white CPC branded polythene bag, collectively inside an A4 sized polythene gripseal bag, inside a cardboard box.
I know CPC used to get a lot of complaints about the lack of protective packaging, but this may be too far in the opposite direction...
