Hi, I'm still a newbie in online shopping, so I want to hear you guys opinion on this.

I've bought some hardware from lyn seller before, they all come with their own box and are just wrapped with paper. But the boxes are safe enough to protect the item, though usually the edge already "kemek" when arrive

But what about hard disk? Since they dont have any box, and hard disk are sensitive to damage. How do seller usually wrap them, if I buy 1 hard disk only?

Thanks

no idea , should ask them for more protection thx

ask seller for clarification on wrapping purpose.
ask also if damages caused by postage is covered under personal warranty.
~Done~

usually, hdd seller will wrap that thing with super safe (bubble wrap with span)..



ask them to do so..

all my hdd bought online from bulk sales in this forum. all fine

If you do not wish to go through the hassle, Lowyat is the best place for you to get one.

No "kemek", problems..

Agreed

Agreed too


but how many pieces are u going to buy?

I've sent some PS game to my friend by pos express and they received safely with no scratch

Thanks for all replies

Unfortunately lowyat plaza is far away from where I live. The cost of tol and petrol will be 1/5 of the price of a 1.5 or 2 TB hard disk edi
Local shop here are small and don't carry much stuff, which is why i buy some hardware online lately

1 or at most 2 only at a time, can't afford so many

my worry is they throw the package around when transporting

u can wrap with bubble wrap then put in the pos express envelop. should be ok...

busted85,

where do u stay ? coz the way u describe is like ur living in some small town.

1 of my hardisk was damaged during delivery..
******* seller...didn't wrap it up...

so far i hv bought few times (internal 3.5") , so far so good , the important thing is need to remind seller on the packaging, need to hv some form of protection (bubble, newspaper & etc as cushion)
