    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I got a faulty notebook ram-stick that I need to send back to Crucial, and the instructions on their e-mail say that I have to place it inside an anti-static bag (or inside the original package or an ESD tray, which I don't have). Anyone know where can I buy some of these on retail? (not online). Thanks.

    In the US? try radio shack or call ur local electronics supply houses. Ask crucial to send new ram and you send back old?

    Radio shack... makes sense. I'll try to look for different shops. Also, I don't think Crucial would be THAT nice...

    Unfortunately being an international student doesn't allow me to have a credit card <_< I can only pay in debit. I need to seek permanent residence or something, otherwise I would.

    Any other suggestions on where to buy this stuff? I live in Miami.

    Any local shops that build custom computers for clients? Just ask if you could dig in their trashcan for 30 seconds :)
