Packing Peanuts-a waste

and do RECYCLE those peanuts. Any shipping place is happy to take them.

I've got a shipping problem in that I've got a pair of Dynaudio Audience 72's to sell and some of the molded styrofoam corner and edge pieces have split apart. Does anyone have any advise with respect to replacing these crucial spaceholders for shipping? The speakers are heavy, so peanuts likely wouldn't work. Anyone know where to get dense foam pieces where blocks can be pulled out to create the proper spacer shapes?

Go to any building supply store. Sheets of home insulating foam are sold($7 to $10) in 4x8 sheets in 1/2 or 3/4 inch thickness, With a box cutter or good sharp knife, you can cut, fit, tape and glue(I use the spray type of glue, better contact and dries quicker) this foam to virtually any configuration you need. I do a lot of shippin, and I have had no problems since I started cutting this stuff to fit my needs.

Hey Sean,

just another close call...luckily the shipper further packed it after getting it back from MBE....the MBE job would have had me calling FEDEX again.

Dude is shipping me some stuff in carpet backing foam.Guy runs one of these "we auction everything" places and lot's of time the kitchen sink will not come to him withb a box.He swears by it's "protective powers"
