Thanks OP. A bit hesitant but I'm in for one. I wish either they would do a better job padding the item, or not use UPS. Got a HDD from OD two weeks ago and it was at the very bottom and end of the box with the air pillows on top and other side of it. What good does that do? OM has done the same thing in the recent past. And I've seen the UPS guy throw the boxes a good distance/drop onto my and several neighbor's porches. Haven't seen FedEx do it yet. Either way they need to pad them better. Maybe that's why there are so many HDD failures. LOL.
Tried to do in store pickup but wouldn't let me. Wish I could have delayed shipping until Black Friday when I'll be home. 🙂
Also my mom ordered the same HDD from OD by phone like I did two weeks ago, and it never came and they have no record of it. Even gave her a bogus order # and the total price the CSR gave her didn't include tax. Crazy.
