Packing Peanuts-a waste


Why do people use packing peanuts when packing a heavy item such as an amp or speakers? Many of the MBE packing places rely heavily on this things. If you think of it, what good will they do when a 50 lb amp shifts. All they will do is crush and flatten.

Derrick, the key to packing anything is to double box and make sure that the inner box CAN'T shift within the outer box. If packed tightly enough ( literally CRAMMED full ), there is enough pressure that is evenly distributed on all sides, keeping the inner box centered. I would agree with your basic statement that most people do not pack well enough to begin with though.

Did you have another shipping problem ??? Sean
