Modelbuilder Mark Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Odd curiosity.. One of my suppliers I work with sent me a calendar in the mail in a clear plastic sleeve, with one little packing peanut. At first I thought it was static that pulled it into pack, until I flipped it over.. and noticed this odd note,, Anyone ever heard of this odd regulation?
89AKurt Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Any warnings about it causing cancer for Californians?
Snake45 Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 It might have something to do with thickness. Not long ago I tried to mail some parts to someone here in a regular envelope. It made weight, but it wouldn't quite fit through a slot in a template, so I had to pay the package rate for it. Had never heard of that before that.

Nope, I looked all over and that one little warning is all I saw. On 12/20/2019 at 6:44 AM, Snake45 said: It might have something to do with thickness.

Some recipients MAY have packing nut allergies!
misterNNL Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 Maybe it's one of those that is biodegradable and will dissolve in water.

No, those usually look like cheese puffs without the cheese powder......................actually, I think they are just cheese puff without the cheese powder, they look about the same.
redneckrigger Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 It is so it can be shipped USPS First Class Parcel. If it is too thin, it will go First Class Letter at a higher rate. Found this out quite a while ago selling stuff on eBay. I put a few peanuts in a lot of things that would cost more shipping as a letter.
