Question about Zotac RMA Process

[Modus]

So my two month old Zotac GTX 1080 FE has begun to display small artifacts (flashing whit pixels) on dark areas. I tried the following

 

reverting to stock clocks on CPU and gpu

Trying different cables, inputs, monitors

different drivers

clean install of win10

redownloading games

 

 

nothing has worked. I've been monitoring temps and with a custom fan curve nothing goes over 70c. So now all that's left is to RMA.

 

ive submitted a RMA on the US site even though I'm In Canada. My question is how does the process work? Do they mail me a shipping box? I may have lost the anti static bag, is there an alternative?

RMA's(from my experience) have always said to send it in something other than the box it came in if you wana keep it. I just stuck the card inside a brown paper bag, then went to the post office, and grabbed two boxes. One the size of the card and one a little larger to go around, some packing peanuts and sent it off.
