The total weight of all the processors came out right so they probably got lumped in with something else. Maybe the green fiber capless ?

It's a small thing. It's not worth fussing over.

Anyway .... this is the Ewasted customer review thread. This is the review of my experience so far:

There were a few problems related to sorting and human error. ( It's not a perfect world.)

Overall, i would recommend Ewasted as one of the best buyers out there to deal with.

He has a pretty good listing of the chips so what I do is place each individual kind in envelopes and mark what they are ''x how many.'' Sometimes if I'm un sure I just mark it ''unknown'' and figure the sorters will figure it out.

One time i wasn't credited for hard drive boards but I never said anything so this time I made sure to separate every type of board into ziplock bags and marked them (bags) as well as the boards themselves. I also wrote down what I sent so I can compare the final tally to what I have on my list here at home. My mistake was probably thinking they knew what boards were what (HD vs, CD/DVD) but maybe they aren't that easily separated by eyeballing them.

Hello
Thanks for the share!
Our guys should be catching this... it absolutely helps to separate it. Pulling small boards and components from the mix is time consuming and tough. It really makes the process overly challenging on the sorters and the rest of our team to respond to you in a accurate and timely manner.

I try to put myself in the other person's shoes. I ask myself , " If this were my first day on the job as a sorter what would i want to see when i opened the box ? "

If it's neat and well organized with everything labeled that would surely be a help.

I know i mentioned it before, but i think that including a packing list in each box might make things easier on them as well. (It's standard operating procedure in shipping anyway.) It's just a list of things inside the box that the person on the receiving end can check off as they go.

It's just an opinion .... but my impression is that Mario set things up to make it as easy as possible for us.

With a little bit of practice maybe we can return the favor and set up our boxes up so that they are as easy as possible to process.
