POLL: How many know not to ship memory in envelopes???

[jonnyGURU]

Just checking.

I got an unusual amount of DIMMs in the mail this week and thought that maybe the majority had lost touch with reality.

Of course, only half of those DIMMs I received were broken in half, but still...

It sucks when the last part of a conversation starts with, "Well sir, common sense would dictate...."

I know this one jonny - I remember reading an amusing rant of yours about it a couple of months back.

To be honest, I would have known anyway, but that rant just drilled it into me

How else do you ship dimms! I thought they were made to fit in envelopes

 

[andylawcc]

apparently its highly tempting to send Mem in the perfectly fitted enveloped. Heck, I am getting a refund on this sucker anyway, why should I care more about the packaging.

I'm hoping thats how egghead sends me all my ram....hehe

Edit: Actually a few weeks ago I got a stick of ram in I bought from an individual and it came in an priority mail envelope....at least it had some bubble wrap around it I guess....

I got a 128mb stick of Samsung -GH ram in an envelope....
It worked fine though.

I usually just slap a stamp on the memory stick itself, who needs envelopes?

i would ship memory in envelopes.

one healthy antistatic bag. several well placed pieces of fiberglass (.25 or thicker) in a bubble wrapped interior envelope then placed inside a fedex box, and sent ups.

Mday: That works for me!

Fact is MOST RAM arrives in tact... but not ALL. Boxes are free and the "added weight" is next to nothing, so why bother using an envelope?

dirtboy: I wonder.... hmm..... Just to see what happens. You know.

And all this time I've been taping mine to a postcard!!!

 

[nickdakick]

Jonny I thought you just don't accept RAM in envelopes ? :Q

 

[jonnyGURU]

Most of it gets turned around at the door before I even see it, but if it gets as far as me, I'll open it and check it out and if it's screwed I call the customer.

Sometimes it's an envelope I can jimmy open and reseal if the contents are damaged. Then I can just refuse it and don't have to pay to ship it back to the customer.

Sorry, had to make sure the cheezy answer was above the stupid one.
