Peanuts (was: Prepare to chuckle... )

I think the key is to not just dump the peanuts into the container, but to physically compress them into the box. The flaps of the box should require some pressure to fully close around the item. If done properly, peanuts will not leave a loose void for things to wiggle around inside. I just opened some ebay purchases last night and two of them were damaged. Neither one of the damaged items used peanuts. In fact, of all the damaged items I've received off ebay, not a single one of them used peanuts. -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline" -- DirectX 9 draft available for download <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html> Legalize Adulthood! <http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/>
