I usually receive my hard drives from ebuyer in those plastic egg carton things with plenty of air bags stuffed inside a huge box enough to fit about 20 drives in!
Scans stuff tbh is always very well packed...
I remember overclockers sending me a £410 ATI x800 XT in a brown paper bag... no anti static, no foam or any accessories. The card had been sent to me second class postage and had been literally cracked in half, the heat sync was ripped off and various surface mounted chips missing from the board....
After a few failed phonecalls i sent off an email... RMA was slow and at first i was acused of damaging the card... Got it all sorted in the end though... refunded and then purchased from scan for £50 less a week later when the prices dropped....
