What's in the box?

I ordered a new BAW blade online, and was greeted by this box on my doorstep:

Do you think they sent a windshield by mistake??!?

Blade design appears unchanged…

I guess they ran out of appropriately slzed boxes. that is comical.

Geezo, a shipping tube would have cost about half the shipping.

HAHAHA that’s hilarious. A 5x5 box for a wiper blade. UPS dude was probably even more confused. He’s like “why is someone shipping an empty box?”

I'm glad I got mine in the same box - a smaller box would ruin the already crappy performance of the blade. I've had three replaced and the passenger side is never properly cleaning after about a month.

These shipped in a box that didn't keep the "bend" in them would ruin them completely.

I've been thinking about trying these out:

Wiper arm clips

The common issue I frequently face is the "smear" due to lost contact the blade midpoint. I think the clips would make that worse.

Given that the downward pressure of the arm must exactly offset the springiness of the blade, I'm surprised that the springs within the arm do not have any kind of adjustment capability.

I'm also annoyed that the arm cannot be lifted to 90 degrees (I realize this would overstretch the springs, but geez). Working on the glass means moving the blade repeatedly.
