How do you suggest they package there products for shipment worldwide.
Lefty,
Do you even think about what I write? I mean, this is at least the second time that it just seems like you speed-read or skim my posts.
What did I say? I said the safe shipment of the product (at least for this small size) is handled by the shipping container - not by the actual box (again - for this small size). Do you think they just dump a bucket load of protoboard boxes into a rail car and hope for the best? Of course not. The boxes are themselves packed into other boxes. Haven't you ever ordered anything online before? Does it arrive in the original box, or is it packed into another box for shipping?
Not to mention, how do you account for the packaging difference between the Arduino and the protoboard?
If you have a constructive suggestion then send it to them, I'm sure they are very environmentally aware as a company.[/color]
If they are anything like the administration of this forum, I doubt they will care about my message.
