I'll be shipping a few floppy disk drives soon,
and want to minimize
the shipping damage to them. So, is it better to ship them with the
drive door open or closed? And with or without a floppy inserted?
ive always shipped drives with a floppy inserted if i dont have the original
cardboard/plastic shipping disk. since the heads are clamped down on the
disk, supposedly that would minimize damage from movement or rough handling
by idiot delivery companies that never treat anything with care.
