To those who have received Crucial's memory !

[corinthos]

I took part in the "hot deal" for 256mb PC133 cas2.
Anyway, how big is the package once it arrives? THanks

 

[slucky]

It came in a plastic UPS envelope with a small cardboard box inside. Does it matter?

The memory arrives in a UPS 2nd Day Air Envelope. In the envelope is a box which contains the memory. It is not much bigger than the modules themselves...i.e. it's not a very big box...maybe 5"x2"x1".

Yes, if you look at the box in some Crucial promotional photos (like on FWlet) you get the impression that the box is as big as a microwave oven. Sorry, it's as described above.

Thanks guys... one last question.. Is this box that is within the UPS envelope
stiff enough and padded so I can use it to ship the memory in?

 

[slucky]

yes

 

[2Crucial]

of course it is. why would they ship it to you in that stuff if it would break?

Yup, in fact, I used it to ship out my old ram today. Accessmicro uses the plastic cases, which I like, Crucial uses a static bag and then packs it between to foam pieces inside the box.
