ibm makes it so hard to rma a damn drive back.

[Nocturnal]

you have to ship it with a certain padding, if not it could void the warranty. that is bullcrap man.

i dont know where i can find the stupid padding, or a anti-static bag. i dont have one lying around. i used them all when i sold things in the for sale trade forum.

can anyone tell me where i might be able to pick up some anti-static baggies and the padding to send the ibm hdd back?

the padding has to be those foam egg looking things.

it looks like you can put eggs on them. i hope you know what im getting at.

thanks.

ok, do you have any idea where i can buy the padding and anti-static packages?

Western Digital is a breeze if you use their advance RMA program. They ship you the new drive, throw the old drive in the box and ship it back.
Makes life so easy.

Do you have a local computer shop? They're likely knee-deep in anti-static bags and peanuts.

where'd you get the padding and what not to ship it?

or did you just throw it in a anti static bag and bubble padding?

although actually I thought they wanted firm foam padding...that's what I used....and the aforementioned bag.

I got a box with my first RMA drive and I ship in that knowing I will get another one.
