Logitech and Amazon.com have teamed up to offer this item in Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging, a recyclable, easy-to-open alternative to traditional packaging. A Frustration-Free Package comes without excess packaging materials such as wire ties, hard plastic “clamshell” casings, and plastic bindings. It's designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging. The Certified Frustration-Free version of the Logitech Harmony One Universal Remote removes 24 ounces of plastic packaging and offers a reduction of 188 cubic inches of total package volume compared to the traditional retail version. It is able to ship in its own box, without the need for an additional shipping box. http://amzn.to/HqNuhC
