1950: in the future we’ll have flying cars!
The future:
For $400+ you’d think that these would get a better package than a paper bag.
This is how mine came:
Oh how nice. CS wants me to find a box and return it. Maybe if it was shipped in a box in the first place I wouldn’t have to. It’s not like I actually wanted RAM or anything.
Hello there,
Hope you’re doing Well !
Thank you for your email, you can use any other box to return the item for full refund.
Best regards,

Put it back in the envelope it arrived in.
It’s a thin paper bag. The kind that is sealed on both ends, not the kind that has adhesive.
Do what I did when I had to send something to my ex when I was still pissed off after our divorce. I mailed stuff in a tampax box. It’s cardboard. It worked. He made sure to mention it.
It’s an item worth over $400. If it doesn’t make it back intact am I still going to get my refund?
Good reason to keep those resealable Amazon polybags on hand. 
[Edit: changed emoji to thumbs up because intent was not to mock poster, but instead comment on Amazon’s at-times-quizzical packaging determinations.]
But people are going to recieve information how they wish to perceive. Wishing luck with that. 
Pack it with some cardboard (that’s what I did). Should be fine.
If it was packaged properly in the first place this wouldn’t be an issue. Try and keep up.

So we are back to where I started. I need to package the item better than it was shipped to me in order to return it.
If I could control how Amazon ships stuff, I would.
Here’s something that you might be able to control:
Why wasn’t I offered a replacement? All I was given as on option was the return.
No remaining inventory. And Amazon won’t change the way they ship it so you could have a repeat of the same issue. But mostly, no remaining inventory.
If there was no inventory then why was I asked to provide pictures so that they could “go over further resolutions”? What were the options then, $15 refund to keep it? But now there is no replacement, sucks to be you, thanks for the interest free loan, ship it back and we’ll refund you eventually. I hate paying these prices for RAM but the price was better than it is now. Crazy, I know, for wanting what I paid for to come in undamaged condition.
We’re very sorry to hear that about your item.
Personally, I do not want a loyal customer like you to go through this issue.
We will surely help you with the best resolution once after we have the photos, please do not worry.
If you could please provide us with photos of the damage/defects to the item and once we have that we can go over further resolutions with you.
I realize that, at this point, asking you to contact us again would be an extra step but please understand we want to make sure that this issue gets resolved at the earliest.
Thank you for understanding and we appreciate your patience.
If there is anything else we can help address, please let us know and we’ll assist you.
Once again, we are very sorry for the inconvenience on this and look forward to hearing back from you soon.
We’d appreciate your feedback. Please use the links below to tell us about your experience today.

Oh but the smirking emoji is fine. Gotcha.
I’m not customer service. You’d need to ask them.
It sold out on 3/5. You received it on 3/6. Moot point.
