One of our largest IT wholesalers was surprised when I 
returned a hard disk that had been delivered in a box 
surrounded by copious foam "peanuts". Or, it had started the 
journey "surrounded" but had of course worked its way to the 
bottom of the box in short order. They really really didn't 
understand my point.
