A big box is very useful and since you have the small (42") umbrella, I wouldn't send the big box back, just yet. I do like black backed umbrellas way more than shoot through style, but sometimes they are the only thing that will work, so I have the convertable type that do both.

After all the replies, I've decided to keep the big box. The 60" umbrella I ordered is convertable so it can be used as a shoot thru, plus it has the black back cover. I figure those added to my 42" shoot thru umbrellas should fill my needs at this time.
