Mak I never thought I'd write a review about the packaging, but this was really really a poor packing job. The reviews that say that the packaging has been fixed no longer seems to be true. The bare drive arrived loose in a box with no cushion and was left on my doorstep in the rain. Amazon really needs to reexamine how it packages fragile tech components such as this and its delivery policies with its shippers. I can't believe that a company like Amazon can ship drives like this so haphazardly. I have my fingers crossed that this drive will actually last and not fail because of the poor shipping policies of Amazon. As a prime member, I expect some thought and care to ensuring a safe delivery. Amazon needs to remedy this situation QUICKLY and PUBLICLY. 21 of 24 people found the following review helpful. Arrived DOA -- Packing suspect By C. Horton two bare drives in a large shoebox sized amazon box + a few of those airbag things = DOA drives. Attempting an exchange, but not holding my breath. 19 of 22 people found the following review helpful. do NOT tolerate poor amazon packaging/padding By Federalist One REJECT all packages lacking PADDING ON ALL SIX BOX SURFACES meeting or exceeding UPS standards. I have ZERO confidence in electronics received in any other condition. I continue to exchange the item until amazon can be bothered to correctly package it. I have recently started a habit of calling customer service prior to an order, placing the order, and giving the rep the order number to ENSURE the item is PROPERLY packed in the box. Amazon is NO DEAL WHATSOEVER when shipping practices endanger reliability/longevity of merchandise. See all 102 customer reviews...
