Given that a lot of people will suddenly be getting these mysterious envelopes in the mail (please don't call your local police department!), a photo of what to expect...



You can see the carrier adhered with "scotch tape" to the paper. The paper was to protect and keep the chips still while being transported. The "scotch tape" only covers the sprocket holes and can be easily removed.

The plastic body is an anti-static capsule, each holding one chip. The bottom of the chips can be seen through the small hole in the bottom of the capsule. If you turn the capsules over, you will find a film layer protecting the chips from above.

It is probably best not to remove the chips from this carrier to help prevent static problems. This shipping method was tested in advance before any sales occurred, so the chips should be safe as they arrived.

Note: The paper itself has a very fine pattern to it, similar to the safety paper you see on checks. If you cannot see the pattern, you may be too drunk to perform the install yourself, or need a magnifying glass to assist you. It is also interesting to note that one person did receive paper without a pattern on it, just to make things more interesting...
