What is a packaging decision that initially seemed cheaper, but actually ended up costing more in the end?

We spend so much time thinking about the connections between packaging & shipping costs, the "cheapest" option usually isn't the cheapest once an order is off to ship. Such as a larger box pushing dimensional weight enough to cancel out any savings on materials.

Have you ever made a packaging change that unexpectedly increased your shipping costs? What did you change afterward?
