I can't believe they are sending these out one per box!!Well, at least I'll have plenty of boxes to ship out brickbay(1) parts in :-) What kind of packing material are they sending?

What's wrong with those airpocket things? Not as flexible as peanuts or bubblewrap, I'll agree, but great for filling up large spaces in boxes. Twenty boxes worth is probably more than enough though. :-) Doug (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

They work just fine when stores ship my items to me. When shipping out my brickbay packages, I find they aren't as reusable as the other forms of packaging. If they sit around too long they get flat. I'm hoping for bubble wrap... 20 boxes worth, I'd (...) (24 years ago, 25-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)

The nice thing about the buckets ONCE YOU HAVE THEM, is that you can compact 2.5 buckets into one, so those 40 will end up being 16 buckets. And if you just throw them in a cardboard box, you can cram them into a decently small box. I still have 16 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.market.shopping)
