WD Portable Hard Drive

Hi. So I've got a WD Portable USB external hard drive with a month left of warranty, Edit: Which I'm going to SE with a boxing method. Registered it and raised a RMA.
The issue is, it weighs 130g, on it's own. I know this is just over the 120g suggested threshold to box without dry ice. Should I just risk it and hope for the best? Or should I try dry ice it?

Just want some opinions on it, any help would be appreciated,
Cheers!

Dry ice is an excellent method it works extremely well. Don't be worried about trying it I did it in a country where its not common at all and not too easy to get hold of and was so incredibly easy and effective.

Further to @Tibo inc's post above, dry Ice can be purchased online.

@mothered Thanks to you both for the reply. I am planning on use dry ice for some other methods, I was more referring to the fact that the weight is close to the 120g cut off and it may just be worth sending without. However, i'll time it when I purchase some dry ice for another boxing. I can only get 10kg at a time, so it'll be worthwhile if I already have some left over

Will do. I actually have 4 items to box at same time. Not done any before. and one of which is a £1500 laptop which I've been after for a long time. Might make another post about it.

Yes, It's best to create another thread outlining your SEs.

I look forward to reading your strategy and formulation.
