I bougth fallout 4 and a set of 16gb ddr3 corsair LP ram (2x8gb) from a large online computer shop, shipping info is telling med that they sent my stuff as a PARCELLETTER???!!?! (Envelope with THIN foam padding) and that it will be delivered to my mailbox, at my mothers adress in shadyville mc shadystuff... (As an added bonus, parcelletters gets sorted with regular letters, and handled by people who dont give two sh¡ts about their job)

Ps, the neighbourhood where my mother lives is well known for people getting stuff stolen from their mailboxes.

Think of it this way.

Whenever you pay bills the old way, by mailing in a cheque (Shut up, I still do that.) or send a letter to your grandma in Florida, you're not going to send it in a box everytime, now are you?

Same situation here. It's flat. It doesn't need a box.

no, but this is different. This isnt a letter, its PC parts.

Still, it doesn't need a box. It's flat. I've never heard of anyone damaging RAM purely because some guy in a shipping company was throwing and dropping your package.

The RAM packaging is more than enough to protect it. Its very sturdy.

RAM will be fine. As for game, you get key anyway. If DVDs crack... torrent .isos (not cracked). I have bought parcel stuff from UK many times and only covers have cracked few occasions. Most common thing to break is jewel case for music CDs.I also regularly order stuff from Hong Kong and they are usually shipped in parcels. Only packaging takes the hit, not stuff inside.
