Netflix ships millions of DVDs per year in even flimsier packaging and it does not seem to be causing them major problems (though I have received cracked DVDs on a couple of occasions).

That one must have received very "special" handling to yield 17 pieces. BTW, did you ever receive an envelope with a big official sticker on it that reads "Damaged in Handling by your Postal Service"? The irony is almost more than I can stand. <g> Ed Price [email protected] <blocked::mailto:[email protected]> WB6WSN NARTE Certified EMC Engineer Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab Cubic Defense Applications San Diego, CA USA 858-505-2780 Military & Avionics EMC Is Our Specialty ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Conway, Patrick R (bNB Houston) Sent: Monday, August 24, 2009 6:48 AM To: Taylor, Michael; [email protected] Subject: RE: Damaged CD of 2009 EMC Proceedings < I can't believe an engineering society would think that sending a CD thru the mail in a flimsy paper cover had any chance of survival.> But - they had 3 dB of packaging margin when they released it to production! J We are the EMC Society, not the Shock & Vibe, or Packaging, society - maybe we should spend some of that dues revenue to hire a consultant? Seriously- you should be able to contact the society VP for Conference Services, the list contributor Ghery Petit, and have a replacement sent out to you. Best Regards, Patrick.

I was anxious to read the papers presented, I was not able to attend due to "Budget Concerns" at my company. Opening the package, all 17 pieces of what was originally the CD fell out. I can't believe an engineering society would think that sending a CD thru the mail in a flimsy paper cover had any chance of survival. Have any other members received there proceedings CD in "KIT FORM" ??? Someone needs to be held accountable for a major lack of understand of fundamental engineering principals. You can't mail a CD in a thin paper - fold over mailer. The Post office will crush it. I intend to return the pieces to the mailing organization demanding a properly packaged replacement. I feel better now - I'll take my soap box and go back to work. Regards to all Michael Taylor Colorado - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
