Chips packed in thin foam and nothing else in an envelope:-(
The sender gets a PM of course but a warning to everybody:
Use old cassette or cd covers, cut coke-cans or whatever when you don't have tubes (btw why don't you have some? they are available everywhere!)
But NEVER send chips just in foam.
THEY HAVE PINS that are stronger than foam but not stronger than the hundred letters that are above them! |

| I made a hole in foam and place the item in that, and then put a piece of tae over it. Oh, thick foam. It's my processor small motors and actuators, but easily carries over for microchips. |

| Dip chips are particularly fragile and difficult to ship. One must be very careful with them. |

I have some tubes, But I don't think it's the best thing to pack DIPs, sometime the tube would scratch the printing of DIP.

Of course you can pack chips in a cubic inch of very soft foam, put that into an iron box and send your private slave by foot to deliver the chip.
Maybe that's safer.
But as your slave is mostly in use by your wife you need to take the secondbest solution. And that are tubes. When you are afraid of damaging the lid printing put some tissue above it.
My experience is that even the white Fujitsu 8086 chips are handled best this way - and their printing is fragile like chalk.
I usually pack the tube inside thick cardboard, never got complains.

2101 RAMs, not expensive so I complain about careless packing and not the money loss. |

I have shipped chips in aluminum boxes, to singapore, famous for running over mail with heavy truck.
My package to them survived, with tire tracks on it
