Do packing peanuts have brains?.

What makes them jump on you?

When you place your order, write in the comments box "No peanuts please." Then they pack it with paper.

It's a pretty simple fix...............

Is it possible for AG to use the recyclable (is that spelled right?) p-nuts? I think they are made from wheat by-products. Cost could be a big factor though.

Just thinkin' out loud...

Are you referring to the ones that you run water on and they disappear? Starch based peanuts.

I can see that going pad if certain products spilled.

It is a little known fact that the state of Florida actually pays shippers to use the styrofoam peanuts for packing out of state orders. The amount of the payment is dependent on the level of static charge infused into the peanuts. This loose static plays havoc with all the electrically powered heart monitors and other similar devices so prominent in Florida. These payments can add quite a bit to a company's bottom line in the current economy. One only has to look to all the companies that have gone out of business recently because they refused to use the statically charged peanuts for out of state shipping.

It's got to be true! I saw it on the internet.

I would like to see AG switch to the water soluble peanuts! Most other retailers are using them now and it's so much nicer to be able to just dump them in the sink vs. ending up in the trash.

hi
is there any way you can use something else to pack your products when shipping/? These styrofoam peanuts are just really frustrating. Try to remove the products and they spill out of the box and all over the place. Its wintertime and dry air so the static charge makes them cling to everything.

Please. very very frustrating. I know its probably cheapest way to pack but cant you find something else to pack them? Even newspaper would be fine.

I haven't read through this entire thread so I apologize if I am repeating someone else's reply but I just type "Please use paper packing material" into the comments box while checking out and they do every time I type it there.
