Thats exactly why I keep ALL my boxes for RC, computer and gaming related purchases, much to the frustration of my GF but I tell her to deal with it. I would get a big enough box and either use old newspaper or peanuts if you can get it cheap. I use whatever I have around for packaging, including the crap loads of plastic grocery bags I accrue.

Mods, please leave this thread unlocked for us to give him best wishes for recovery
