indestructible packaging

UPS just delivered my new electric razor that I ordered off Amazon.

I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to open the razor; it came in this indestructible plastic packaging. I tried cutting it with a pair of scissors to no avail, then I tried sticking a kitchen knife in it (no luck either), and my attempts with a box cutter yielded no satisfactory results. After about 10 minutes, I finally found a hacksaw and that was enough to create a big small hole for me to pry the razor out of the package.

Seriously, I don't understand the rationale of putting so much packaging around a razor and making it so insanely difficult to open. Are they trying to play hard to get or something, making it ever so much more special once you've gone to great lengths to figure out how to destroy the packaging to get to the item inside? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't get why my razor has to come in a bulletproof container when a nice, colorful cardboard box would suffice. Oh well.
