I actually hate the biodegradeable packing. If it gets wet, it gets
sticky and messy (I've had it stick to items being shipped - of course
that wouldn't be a problem if they packed the stuff in bags). I also

the foam packing may be best overall, it lasts forever (if anyone in the
Raleigh NC area needs some foam packing, let me know, I'm starting to
get overrun with it - I'll also bring a bag to Brickfest if anyone
thinks they can use it [it will "reserve" space for Outlet buys...]).
