Does anyone know where I might be able to buy a small bag of these? Am trying to work out how best to pack up my camera to post.
Thanks

Trigger you can buy rolls of bubble wrap in many places probably Rymans in town. That is just as good and you can wrap the camera in as much or as little as you want.

Good thinking - I have a large roll of that which I've resisted "popping"! I've been wanting to get rid of for ages!
Thanks for that.

Wondering if the post office sell them as they sell all kinds of packaging for mailing stuff.

They say the dog is man's best friend. I don't believe it - how many of your friends would you neuter?

Just 'Googled' and it says most post offices sell them.

Another tip is when you get electrical items and they have those polystyrene blocks in, they can be rubbed down to make them similar to the beans

Thanks everyone for comments - much appreciated. Had a wander downtown - with a confused look on my face - it can help sometimes! Rymans have small bags of “Poly. Chips” for £2.79 - and when I think how much of that stuff I’ve thrown away in the recent past! So, I’ll manage without. The P.O. sells boxes and the smallest one is deep enough to take the camera - well wrapped in bubble wrap! So, hopefully, I’ll send it on its way next week.

If you have a document shredder then use the "waste" from that it is then a recycled product which is greener and more friendly then the polystyrene chips

Good thinking young man! My shredder's container is full - and I should have tipped it in the blue bin today. At least the paper will be put to a good use!
All I've got to get now is get the box - and I'll be able to send my camera off!

On occasions when I've mailed stuff I've blown up and tied polythene bags to use inside the box.

You should patent it.

I think you'll find it possibly has been patented. I have had goods delivered surrounded by heat-sealed plastic bags full of air - a bit like small pillows.
