[78-L] Peanut Vendors

[Roger Wade]

I have been using this static-free figure-8 type of packing peanuts  
from ULine for a few years now, primarily on overseas shipments where  
weight is so important.  I find them very easy to work with.  I won't  
even re-use the original kind anymore for the same reasons stated by  
other posters.  They are just as much a pain to pack with as they are  
to unpack.  The static-free peanuts are only slightly more expensive  
than the traditional ones, and well worth paying the difference.
