Walmart - Ask for bag of beans!

- Secure each unit in 2 inch-thick foam rubber in a corrugated box. Do not use peanuts, bubble wrap or newspaper.

If you have a credit card ,get a advance delivery deal...

They put a $25 hold on the c.c. and send the new drive out and then you just put the defect in the box the refurb came in..
