Macy's, Barnes and Noble, Aeropostale, and UnderArmour were each rated the best-in-class for package fit of items ordered online, according to the study.

When comparing average packaging costs across categories of retailers, beauty and vitamin retailers were the worst offenders of excess packaging and regularly waste materials.
