As the recipient of many engine cases for modifications, I'd
strongly disagree about using those packing "peanuts".
Two reasons:
1) They are horribly unstable and allow the contents of a box to shift; OK for VERY light stuff, but NFG for any engine parts. You would never believe the damage I've seen from poorly packed components over the past 30+ years. Remember, shipping companies will never pay damage claims from improperly packed and sealed boxes.
2) Terribly messy as they float everywhere all over the floor when unpacking a box. Its not a good idea to anger the person doing your work from having to spend time chasing them all down to put back in the box.
My best advice is to call your shop and ask
them how they want things packed. This works both ways to ensure your parts arrive in good condition and survive the return trip, undamaged.
