styrofoam peanuts vs. bubble wrap

[melott]

I've done it twice now.....

What I did was use big blocks of foam to block
the corners so it doesn't move around in the box.
Also I first put the computer in a plastic bag
then wraped it in bubble wrap.
These were an A500 and then an A1200, with an A3000
the bubble warp wouldn't be necessary.
I'd just put it in a large heavy-duty trash bag to keep
out the peanuts. Then block the corners well so it
couldn't move in the box then fill the box with peanuts.
Look at the way they pack a TV or VCR, take their example.

Ummm .... those airbags, the large ones about 6in. sq.
don't hold up with heavy items like an A3k.
I bought an item that was packed with those bubble bags
and I wasn't happy, I did come to an arangement with the
seller. I really wouldn't want to trust an A3k to those
for packing, I'd certinly insure it well if you do.
