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.

I've got a shipping problem in that I've got a pair of Dynaudio Audience 72's to sell and some of the molded styrofoam corner and edge pieces have split apart. Does anyone have any advise with respect to replacing these crucial spaceholders for shipping? The speakers are heavy, so peanuts likely wouldn't work. Anyone know where to get dense foam pieces where blocks can be pulled out to create the proper spacer shapes?
