Well... my Truepower 430 just died on me. Going to send it in for another one.

I didn't know whether the stock box would be enough. The post office once said that they prefer boxes to be blank so they don't accidentally send it to another address that might be on the box.

That's why I decided to use some wrapping paper I had laying around. Hope the RMA guys like it.

Typically you wrap only Christmas presents in something so shiny as that.

The wrapping paper is more like wrapping cardboard. It's pretty darn thick. It's not going anywhere except Antec.

You should have wrapped it with brown paper bag.
Best packing I've ever seen is when this guy shipped a keyboard in a box about 1ftx1ftx2ft. He used smaller boxes as peanuts to fill in the empty space.

So are you sending it in just the retail box because that clearly does not offer any shipping protection to it and could invalidate your RMA.

When was the last time your computer hardware came without protection?

Of course there's bubble wrap!

Not to mention my TLC ala superb wrapping.

Umm, no offense but retail boxes are not mean't for shipping. You should really use another bigger box outside of that so there is an impact area all around it.
