I'm not trying to raise a stink, and the names have been withheld to protect the guilty. Just please don't ever ship a board this way! Use a real box. With some sort of packaging. Really.

That's awesome! But why go to that much trouble, if you're going to do that why not just slap a stamp on the upper left corner. :001_ssuprised::D

I bet before you opened it you was like " WTF is this"

I thought it was book at first! A couple of caps are broke off but I don't know if it happened in transit. I'm amazed it wasn't broken in half at my doorstep. Not only did he skimp on the box, but sent it Parcel Drop-Kick Post as well.
 
wow hmmmmmmm who had the brains to think packing something like that was a good way to ship

you are lucky it is in one peice
at least i dont see any of the red kick me here stams on it lol thats probaly why it made it in the cond it is
 
I got two Williams CPU boards in a Kohl's box yesterday. :( And yes... they only used tissue paper to "pad" them. :( :(
 
Hell i usually wrap mine in a plastic grocery sack and shove a label on it and off to the post office it goes! :D

You're wasting valuable packing material. I usually put a post-it note with the sender's name on it somewhere on the board, open the front door, then fling it as hard as I can like a frisby.
 
Ive seen marquees shipped that way, Hell even I have shipped some that way, but with some stiffer cardboard or small piece of wood to make sure they dont bend, BUT NEVER A BOARD...wow you are very lucky it made it in the condition it did.. Hope it works.
 
Everytime i get stuff shipped to me i think of this:




lol....

Absolutely classic vid.

That is a horrible way to ship a board- perhaps the worst I have seen. With all the trouble stirred up around here lately about people shipping boards bad, I am surprised that this did not get sent back by the buyer without even testing it first. I would certainly test it and try to use it if possible, but some folks on here just send stuff like that back and demand a full refund before they even test it. Hope it works for you!
 
I'm not too terribly upset about it since it did make it in one piece. No harm, no foul. I just wanted to put the images out there for people to see what kind of shipping method might get their customers potentially upset. If we save even one person a future headache, my job is done. :) I intended to shop this board and do some troubleshooting anyway.
 
I've had a couple of backglasses shipped to me just wrapped in cardboard like that. Of course, I got scared when I saw the packaging, yet they survived somehow. As far as shipping a board that way - lazy.
