    Yep, i always have to get the penknife out to get into any scan delivery, even if its just a couple of sata cables

    Only company i have ordered a hard drive from and then regretted it is ebuyer as they don't put much additional protection in at all.

    Some of the things I got from Amazon were just stuffed into a box with some brown paper. These were things like cpu, ram, motherboard, psu, keyboard. Scan however, use a lot of bubble wrap for my graphics cards
