I've also gotten many shipments from Jim, no problems.

I do have a set of Treasure chips on the way though.

Since you're had two recent packages that were damaged, maybe your postal worker has gone a little 'postal' and is abusing your packages because you get too many. Maybe try shipping to a different location?

This has definitely crossed my mind. But, the PNYs I received that were dinged up were wrapped incredibly tightly in TONS of bubble wrap, leading me to believe that the handling/shipping/packaging was not the cause of the chips arriving in the condition they did.

Also, I'm not sure how easy it would be to open the UPS box my Treasures came in. The bottom was REALLY taped up well and the shipping label was covering the box top with no tape over it. I guess I'm saying that it didn't look like it was tampered with. But then again, a pro might know what they're doing...?

Unless I find a deal that I can't pass up, I think I need to take a break from buying chips.

Probably not the case, but you never know. Could also be that UPS dropped the package once and the Styrofoam broke.

I'm ultra paranoid with packing. I got chewed out once because a cheap cardboard chip box collapased and the chips ended up like yours. Now I usually try to ship with cheap chip racks: wrap the racks in plastic wrap, then bubble wrap, and a mix of packing peanuts.
