Back on the original topic, there is no worse packing material than packing peanuts. Every broken player I've had was a result of packing peanuts. They don't stay in place and allow a player to make nearly direct contact with a surface if dropped right.
Not true at all; peanuts are actually the BEST thing to use as they absorb shock without compressing, however for them to work properly it requires about 2-3" of them on each side of whatever you're packing much like how bubble wrap requires 2-3 layers worth for it to make a difference.
Unfortunately, professional packing isn't a common skill set.
