I used to pack primarily with peanuts until I concluded if I hate unpacking a geetar chock full o nuts then likely my customers do as well. I still use them but sparingly, primarily on the bottom 25% of the guitar box.
I've received stellar guitars from Rich Peterson with peanuts as packing, and frankly I don't care about the peanuts spreading out on the floor when I pull out that great guitar Rich has procured and lovingly stewarded.

Well as mentioned earlier up thread, the secret is to open the box from the bottom! Then the peanuts are contained. (Or "managed".)

Once at work some people filled a friend's car with the good old styrofoam peanuts - when he got out of work he opened both dorrs and let the peanuts blow out. Damn little things were b;lowing around the township for weeks.

they are a nightmare to pick up after accidently dumping the big box onto the floor. i eventually asked my parents to stop sending me presents.

seriously...just cause of the packing peanuts.
