I hate

AG'S PACKING PEANUTS.

i have ordered on occasion from AG on and off over the past five or six years. the one part of the experience that i absolutely despise is dealing with the peanuts. every time, when i open the first panel of the box i get bummed that they haven't gotten away from these stupid thangs.

and it's not even the peanuts, as a concept. it's this type of peanut. these break up during shipment, are ultra sensitive to static, etc.

there are a lot of options out there, including biodegradable peanuts that don't have roller coaster pricing dependent on oil markets, don't have static issues, don't break up, etc.

i know there are countless threads on this issue but i feel that strongly about it that i must make another thread where all of us can put a hand on the next guy's shoulder and tell him "it's ok, i understand." hahaha

I hate them too!

I just throw in the comment when I Order and ask for paper they will take care of you

If I'm not mistaken I think I remember reading that you can request an alternative.

Everytime this comes up I suggest the corn starch peanuts, but as noted above, they HAVE provided an alternate which is to request paper packaging in the comments section of the order screen.

Although I do have to say it was no picnic on my last order trying to get all the paper flattened out to put in the recycling...however it wasn't as bad as the peanuts.

[builthatch]

wow thanks guize i had no clue that was available, haha. i could have saved myself a lot of aggravation!

i will DEFINITELY be requesting paper.

Half the time I forget to ask for paper.

Crutch field has peanuts that dissolve in water. Always fun to watch them disappear in the rain.

I don't care how they pack my stuff as long as it gets to me safe and sound. I've gotten both peanuts and paper from AGO, and it comes safe and sound I just hate it when it takes 4 days to go from South FL. to N. Fl.

My stuff comes if perfect condition every time with peanuts, I like peanuts. It makes me feel like I'm digging for gold! Only you strike gold every time!!

Agreed!

I don't mind the peanuts, its the careless garbage man that dumps my can's all in a hurry and makes it snow in my yard and i live in Florida no snow here.lol
