How to ship laptop hard drive?

I'm RMAing my sister's Toshiba laptop hard drive - it went completely dead last week. How would I go about packing it up to send to toshiba? I was thinking about an anti-static bag wrapped in newspaper and put into a Priority Mail flat rate envelope with crumpled newspaper to cushion it.

Any other ideas?

I just take my RMA's to the nearest UPS stores and say "mail this here" and hand 'em the address and the RMA number.

And get raped by their inflated prices? Uh uh. 🙂

I should mention, I don't need any data off this drive, and it's already dead, so as long as it doesn't get cracked in half, it'll still be dead when it gets there.

put it in an anti static bag, wrap it in bubble wrap and put it in a padded envelope.

Wait til the new drive arrives, put old drive in box new one came in and send it back.

Agreed except change padded envelope to well-packed box.
