Peanuts do *nothing* .. The heavy item will
"settle" and have nothing
surrounding it. The peanuts act a fluid during shipping.
I can attest to this. I bought a largish disk drive, and it was shipped in
peanuts. It came out the box at 45 degrees to the sides - it had gone in
parallel to the sides. Luckily, no damage ensued, but it was pure luck.
