Posted May 27, 2015 How would I go about shipping a GPU if I don't have the anti static bag? Wrap it in lots of tinfoil, and then wrap that in lots of bubble wrap so the tinfoil doesn't tear.

Posted May 27, 2015 Use a brown paper bag. Brown shipping paper in a box works really well. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 27, 2015 How would I go about shipping a GPU if I don't have the anti static bag? I would recommend using lots of paper, as plastic makes things worse, but really I don't recommend shipping components without a anti static bag at all. If you are ground shipping, the paper may work, but if you are doing air then forget it. *Risky click of the day* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2015 How would I go about shipping a GPU if I don't have the anti static bag? They aren't very expensive to buy but I would wrap it in pink bubble wrap pr foam if you have any that stuff is also anti-static. Alternatively you can wrap it in a a paper bag or carton as NannerBeans suggested http://www.amazon.com/Antistatic-Bags-Resealable-8X12-Pack/dp/B000BSLQK4/ref=pd_sim_147_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Q6TT690XZE6VHNG9S69 Updated Modding FAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 27, 2015 i use wrapping paper wrapping paper can be glossy sometimes and you don't want that. If it's not glossy then I guess there's no harm.

Posted May 27, 2015 tru Bro, if you want to keep your hardware safe use tinfoil. It is better at absorbing static discharge than even an anti-static bag, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
