DATA RECOVERY MEDIA SHIPPING FORM
(Copyright 2008)
Media Packaging Instructions:
As a general rule, handle
a hard disk as you would handle an egg. Handle failed
hard disk drives with the same care as new drives.
Use the original
shipping materials, if you still have them. If do not
have them, they are relatively easy to replicate:
Wrap
media (i.e. hard disk) in an anti-static bag,
tinfoil or simply kitchen
aluminium foil to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Use a box
that is at least twice the size of the media
so that the media can be suspended in the middle of
the box. We recommend a minimum of two inches of
insulation all around for a 2 lb drive.
Pack
securely with foam, bubble
wrap, or creased newspaper so the media will not
move from the middle of the box. Avoid using
peanuts as contents will settle to the bottom of the
box. DO NOT SEND YOU HARD
DRIVE IN JIFFY BAGS.
If
sending a PC, laptop or notebook,
use great care to ensure proper cushioning and
protection. We recommend at least 6 inches
for insulation. The heavier the unit, the more
insulation and cushioning is required.
Please
fill out the form online then PRINT and sign it
and send it to us with your hard drive/media from which you need data
recovery. PLEASE
CUT THE SHIPPING ADDRESS LABEL AT THE BOTTOM AND STICK IT ON YOUR
PACKAGE. DO NOT SEND ANY MEDIA IN JIFFY BAGS. USE
WELL-PADDED BOXES ONLY OR BRING IT TO US IN PERSON IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.If you have a fax
machine, fax a copy of the completed and signed form to 0207 117 4263 so
that we can pre-book your data recovery request.
