Re: Delivering Hard disks via post (OT?)



Scan usually wrap the drives in tons of bubble wrap, then put them in boxes filled with AstroPack, see www.greenlightproducts.co.uk , the four I ordered recently worked perfectly.

BTW, for the childish amongst you AstroPack is great for jumping on, don't do this in a crowded office though!

Usually shipped in a biggish box with foam surround (although I did get a

Should not be a problem if properly boxed.
