Rumor has it that Chuck Guzis may have mentioned these words:
In my experince, damage most often occurs to an
item
being shipped when the item can move even a small amount in the container.
At least in my experience, you're better off over-packing [[ non-fragile
items at least ]] the peanuts into the package instead of underpacking...
Styrofoam peanuts are okay, as long as they're
contained in a bag.
Or the item being packed is contained in a bag & taped well, so the peanuts
can't get in.
I usually wrap items in bubble-wrap & then "float" said item in peanuts.
Haven't had any problems yet...
