Where do you buy your dessicant packs?

I bought some dessicant gel packs (like the ones that come with new shoes), and I toss a couple in both footwells to keep the interior dry. Plug in the battery tender and gently place the fitted cover on top.

Then I put small plastic bags over the exhaust tips and rubber-band them secure (one of the storage posts suggested steel wool) to keep small animals from crawling inside. The final step is to put shallow plastic bowls at the corners and "amidship" with a handful of mothballs in each to ward off mice and such.

When I purchased my cover last year from Amazon, they actually shipped two but only charged me for one. I called about returning one, and they said their records showed they only shipped one.

So I have a never used Coverking indoor cover, green & black.
Coverking Custom Car Cover for Porsche Boxster - Satin Stretch Fabric, 2-Tone Black/Green : Amazon.com : Automotive

Willing to sell for fair price.
