I want to start by saying I think Paizo is a marvelous company. I have placed several orders with you guys over the past couple of years, and I have always been pleased at the responsiveness and general ease with which all communication is handled.
I also greatly appreciate the obvious care with which my purchases are treated by your warehouse staff before they are shipped - everything has always been well packed and arrived safely.
However, the only complaint I have are the styrofoam peanuts you guys use for packing material. Having never worked in a shipping and receiving type job, I don't really know much about packing costs, but is there anything else you could use to fill up empty space that has less of an environmental impact - some sort of recyclable paper product perhaps?
Now that I have had my say, I will let it go and continue to spend money on your fantastic products.
That is all.
Power to the DRUIDS!!

We occasionally use paper, but only with specific products in specific circumstances—it can scratch book covers or acrylic items.
However, we do our part for the environment by reusing clean styrofoam peanuts wherever possible—we receive a lot from our distributors and we've arranged to use the excess from some people we know who get more than they use... and when we do have to buy them new, we try to buy the ones that are made from 100% recycled material (these can be identified by their green color).
Thanks for the response Vic - it's good to know you are at least reusing packing material when possible. I just feel bad that I don't do enough shipping to make reusing an option for me.
Druids rock... I'm currently playing one in the Crimson Throne campaign, actually....
Okay, that aside... has Paizo thought about the bio-degradable peanuts... they are made of a corn starch material... basically, in a sense they are a flavorless, orange powder free Cheeto....
How do I know this? Well, prior to working in a mental hospital I ran a mining equipment company's warehouse on 2nd shift.... I got bored, there was a fun trick I could do with a box of corn starch peanuts and a very surprised truck driver or two that would never expect to see a warehouse worker casually eat packaging peanuts as he flipped through shipping docs......
(Hey! It was a boring shift...)

But come to think of it, someone mistook me for an attendant once. Goes to show how butshit we... I mean THEY can be.
...has Paizo thought about the bio-degradable peanuts...I'm sure Jeff had a good reason for choosing green foam over biodegradable, but he's out sick today, so his secret is safe for now...
Dipping into the stash again, has he?

Oh no, never a doctor... they might actually try to make me a facility director.... which would probably actually require work. Now food and beverage manager.......
"Paging Dr. Dave..."
Does the self-serve hospital have a drive thru? I'm always in a hurry.
As for the styrofoam peanuts...I'm not a big fan. They get stuck in my hair.

I like the new Shrink Hotline. You get the whole hour in 5 minutes, over the phone. Which is great. I can get two weeks' worth of therapy in an hour's time. And since they have lots of shrink, the usual therapist burnout isn't such a problem any more.
And when they start wailing and screaming, you can just hang up.

In the past I have taken over excess packing peanuts to one of my local hobby stores that also has an ebay store. He ships a lot of models and put the packing peanuts to use. You could always ask around local stores to see if anyone else needs them to reuse.
