Every ESD I've ever gotten from Elecraft has been packed in an
anti-static bag and/or "plugged" into anti-static foam. But ...don't
ever use styrofoam egg cartonsor other containers for sorting ESD
parts. Best move is to keep all styrofoam off the bench, period.

Does being packed in all those static-charged peanuts represent a danger to
electronic equipment like the K2?

Just spray the inside of the trash container with Fabric Softener. As to
the ones in the box, same thing. Static gone.

Just received a K2 kit via UPS -- my third in fact -- and spent 20
comical minutes trying to empty out the styrofoam packing peanuts.
They come, apparently, fully charged. They cling to my fingers. They
cling to my shirt. They cling to the outer shipping box. After I get
about ten handfuls into a small trash bag the common charge results in
the
smaller pieces flying out again. Back onto my fingers. Grabbing them
with
one hand while holding a cold water faucet with the other didn' t help
at
all.
Whenever I get a kit I feel as if I have to do the electrostatic
equivalent of a detox shower before I do the parts inventory. Isn't
there
some good substitute for these accursed things? Maybe like their
ancestors
-- real peanuts? At least you can eat those while you're unpacking the
kit
