I smell a Rat.
Those chips are not packaged in any antistatic packaging. So either the packaging is wrong, or I supect some foul play on the customers part.
Mmmmmm
Did it ship a day or two later than promised? #

Did you have to call and ask WTF the Opterons were? Because otherwise, it's not from CDW, someone is simply inefficiently reusing a old CDW box.

Hp is writing to demand an apology now for shaming them as the biggest over-user of shipping materials. The pallet containing their letter will arrive next week.

They're just using the postal system to take out their trash. I do that too ... send junk mail back to the sender in postage paid envelopes.

To be fair, they have managed to fit two Opterons into the box. That could have been two separate shipments.

I got a till slip from Superdrug yesterday which was almost a metre long, for 48 first class postage stamps. No, they didn't ring them up one at a time, just four books of twelve.
Not quite a packaging excess, but at least a postage angle.
