When I order something, it generally arrives in a big cardboard box, with the excess space in the box taken up by air-filled bags which cushion my stuff against mishandling. Sometimes the box is filled with foamed cylindrical pieces of potato starch instead. These are good - they're biodegradeable and
cheap and will crush to protect your delivery.
How about combining the two? If I could pay a small (optional) surcharge to have the potato starch cylinders inside the airbags, made in food-grade conditions, flavoured...
OK, you got me. Just put £1 on the bill and fill the box with bags of Cheetos.
Strictly optional, to spare those of us that either a) don't like Cheetos, or b) buy a lot online...

However getting one into each bubble of the bubble wrap might prove a challenge... |

Agreed... and getting them out would be time-consuming too. Surely someone could invent a machine to do both, and then sell it online? |
|

Alternatively, the bags that surround my stuff are quite big - crisp-packet-sized and might be a better choice. |

Thinking about it, bags of marshmallows would work equally well. |
|

Not thinking about it, hot coffee might be nice to get
delivered as well. |

Be sure and shrink wrap the container lest you be
shipping sugar-seeking bugs everywhere. |

Surely not, as long as the edibles were properly sealed inside their bags? |
