Try 3 shotguns wrapped in a bundle in a long box filled with popcorn! I was finding popcorn for a week afterward!

I guess the flip side is NO packaging material.
Yesterday I received an ammo shipment from a distributor that included a few of those metal bulk cans of 22, shipped in a box with inadequate packaging. Those cans must have rolled around inside that box all the way from the warehouse to my doorway, based on how badly dented the cans are No way can I put them on the shelf and sell them in the condition they're in..... |

Years ago SKS rifles came in crates with straw stuffed between the rifles.

I like the shredded paper. That's always a lot of fun. Part of me would like to simply light it afire and wait until it all burns before I pull the gun out.

I am guilty of the shredded paper but not for guns. When I ship a gun though I do bubble wrap the shit out of if and use as much foam as necessary to ensure its safe arrival. |

Pet peeve of mine is when people use the USPS bubble envelopes as packing material because they are free.
I've seen carpet padding used - actually it did a really nice job. |

I like the shredded paper. My personal favorite was bean bag chair filler on a cosmoline-coated Mosin Nagant. |

Glitter.... yeah, a cruel inside joke if you want to seek any revenge on another dealer.

I unwrapped a $20,000 video projector suspended in between two sheets of clear plastic. That's it. Air. Factory package.

Oh, and it seems like anytime I get a machinegun from a well known dealer in Florida, the gun smells like smoke/bbq/beef jerky.
I've had to clean a few macs and an M16 for customers after they arrive smelling like a wood smoker. |

Had a customer bring in a gun the other day that he wanted to ship. I shook his package and told him I did not think it was properly packaged. I offered to repack it for him. I opened the package to find a shotgun and separate barrel wrapped up in wadded up Christmas wrapping paper. Looked like he saved all the torn up wrapping paper for later use.

I had a gun come with the barrel wrapped in a split pool noodle. I must say it was highly effective.
