I officially will never buy or sell pcbs that need to be shipped again!
ChadTower:
Dammit. I'm going to have to hire this chick to protect me.
tommy:
Don't change the subject. I expect an answer.
Even though she does seem to handle that tool well, it is not important here and now.
ChadTower:
I didn't kill any puppies. I didn't open the box. If you packed your puppies improperly the fault is yours. Or the shipper's. File a dead puppy claim with the USPS.
tommy:
Let me speak to your manager!!

I got a Mario Bros. PCB set from the US via Ebay. Arrived safely without any damage. It was pretty well packed in an oversized box with lots and lots of newspaper (with an interesting article about Apple to boot :laugh2:)
Thing is, most people don't know how to pack things. I worked for a computer monitor company (still CRT's then) and we often received monitors for repair not shipped in the original packaging (which meant NO guarantee). People dropped the monitor in some box that fitted, through in a load of chips and thought that would be ok. What happened next is that the stand of the monitor would go straight through the bottom of the monitor AND through the PCB. That meant a DOA :laugh:
In the original packing, the stand is LOOSE from the monitor and the monitor "hangs" in the side foam parts.This prevents any strain on the monitor itself when the box is stacked etc.
I guess a PCB could be packed the same, using some kind of frame around it from very sturdy and light material, so that it takes any pressure. But heaps of newspaper seems to do the trick normaly...
O, and don't use UPS. I've never had ANY problems with good old Post (USPS etc.)
