They arrived the next day, but having ordered more than 20 plugs I
didn't expect them to be individually wrapped! My waste paper basket is
overflowing with little plastic bags - Surely an inefficient and non-
environmental way to deliver?

Things like these plugs are wrapped like this so they can be displayed on
cards, or hung from pegs etc, to save space in their shops. I'd guess they
arrive from the factory in bags of 100 + , and Maplin don't sell in bulk
anymore.

Sometimes the bags are the re-sealable types which can be some use after -
pity about the staple holes though. ;-)
