How well did Amazon package it for shipping? What do they use now? Last one I bought in mid 2013 wasn't very well packed.

Cannot remember exactly how it was packaged but the drive arrived in good shape and I had no problems

These hardrives were retail units and came in toshiba boxes with foam inside, in addition to being inside an amazon box with air packs.

The biggest threat to a hard drive during shipping is shock. This one was shipped in a cardboard box with one or more air bladders. Had it arrived with obvious damage to the cardboard box, I would have returned it, but it arrived safe and sound and is working just fine.

Sorry about the last msg. Rest assured, amazon always packages products safely. So much so, they need to back off and send the savings on to the consumer

Mine came packed in the box you would find on the store shelf, then overpacked in standard amazon corrugated cardboard with air bag protection around it. No Damage in transit for me.

Hi, got it awhile ago and its packed up but I'm pretty sure it wasnt very posable. Hope this helps...

I don't think it's your responsibility to repackage just as you received it. Instead, get a cheap plastic cover and the shipping guys should take it as is. I may be totally incorrect here, but my answer comes from a October chat with Amazon customer service.

Hi. Amazon is in charge of shipping charges. We actually pay more to ship it. Thanks

It was vacuum packed when I received mine. Kinda heavy, too, so shipping might get expensive.

amazon generally overshoots their estimated delivery dates. most times i've found things to arrive anywhere from 3-5 sooner than the projected time frame (if you used the super saver/standard shipping method). either way, i think the question has been answered

I don't personally ship anything through Amazon because I'm not a seller since using the site. If you mean how did it come when I did buy it via Amazon's service once in the past, I believe I did receive it on dry ice. I know for sure it ensured delivered cold just so you know.

When I bought it from Amazon about a year and half ago it had normal packaging. I've never seen this packaging. I would guess it is some sort of promotional packaging.

It depends on the way Amazon decides to pack it. Sometimes they squeeze it into a little box and sometimes into a long wide box. There's no telling how it'll come, the product is amazing however!!

same here. No downside, other than shipping cost and possibly tax; but still less or same as Amazon, and availability it now...

Hey man. If I remember correctly, it was wrapped like a normal Amazon package, in a brown box. It's discreet.

I got mine from Amazon last week for 1249, best price ive seen. Last night it was ~1450, now its 1379. I was surprised by how often Amazon changed the prices.

Agree with the previous answer. Did you save the packaging with the company information. If not, perhaps looking at their website may help get you a phone number. Have you contacted Amazon? Their customer service is usually very informative.

Been happy with mine - but don't expect much warranty coverage except Amazon's refund conditions.Blow it up - it is out of warranty! Probably 90 days?
