CPU best way to wrap amd cpu?

hello i was wonderin what is the best way to wrap an amd cpu to ship so as not to bend the cpu pins ???

 

The way you sent the one I purchased from you arrived here fine, do you not have any more plastic cases with the foam in?

 

Raid a jewelers shop, chuck all the rings back and just keep the boxes...Simples

 

yes iv ran out of boxes

 

Bit of low density foam works amazingly

 

Cardboard, or ridgid foam on both sides taped together (don't use anything soft that can sink into the pins and create pressure points). Add some packing peanuts round the sides if in a box, or if you're bold enough go use a bubble mailer, double up on cardboard.

I once mailed a s775 P4 in a standard evolope surounded by thin cardboard, and it came out just fine on the other end. I had to pay an extra $.50 over standard postage, but it was still $7 less than a box

 

I'd say go for foam that the pins can sink into as it'll hold them in place, I've had many IC's delivered that way with no issues...
