Proper packaging is the key.
Thanks to first 3 power mac 601 cpu on logicboards crunched caused by
improper shipping packaging.  The 4th one I hope won't come in this
way according to 4th seller packed and boxed in another box with
packing stuff.  All first 3 were from one sellers each.  Already told
them and couple is willing to refund or replace.  The first seller I
don't mind bec it was asis condition but I knew it wasn't the problem
itself but poor packaging ruined that initial stuff I bought.  This
begat the next 2.
I'm amazed that cd got ruined and shedding it's shiny tressels.  I
couldn't get CDs to break by hammering hard edge-on onto table.  Only
that I can do it is fold and close them like a duck's mouth clamping
on an insect.  PING!...and hear twirkles short later.  they shattered
and bits and jagged bits let fly all over.   Even some bits flew 5
feet away.
Wasn't those ruined cds shipped in it's soft sleeves?   My parents
while back ordered big pile of audio cds via a
well-known mail-order place and they came intact in a simple small
box and all of them were in their jewel boxes.  About 6 orders total
I think around 8 titles appox each order.
Cheers,
