I bought a brilliant umbrella for my wife's wheelchair, great price.So, what's the problem, I hear you say.3 Continents, six different locations, 24,740 km's to get to me, oh, and reboxed.This item started its journey at the manufacturer in North Carolina, shipped to another address in North Carolina, shipped to Shenzhen China, who shipped it to Limay France, who shipped it to Toledo Spain, who shipped it to an Amazon hub in the UK who put a perfectly good box inside an even bigger box and shipped it to me in Glasgow.This all took about two weeks. The item only cost £24, there is no way money was made on this item, and if you're an environmentalist, I'm not, then you'll be horrified at the Carbon Footprint of this products journey.I wrote this as a product review and Amazon have rejected it, who'd have thunk. They asked me to edit my submission, but when I click 'Edit review' button in the email, I get a black review, I'm not planning to do it all again.A few months ago I got an email from then asking me to review their environmental credentials as to waste in the supply chain, paper bag instead of box etc. What a joke.
