You are creating a bigger problem for yourself by trying to figure out a way to send a large lot. You are going to be far better off eating more shipping and sending them safely. Get large flat rate boxes, over pack with foam and bubble wrap and how ever many fit safely is how many fit.

You are going to regret cramming in 50 hard drives, the box gets dropped and busts open damaging 10-15 hard drives, don't get me started on how fragile laptop drives are.

Never be penny wise, pound foolish.



When they are working drives and you are getting a premium, eat the extra shipping.

I agree with this advise and don't forget the ESD bags. I do sell and ship HDD's and care in shipping is most important. Your buyer may have shipping requirments and suggestions.

Also when you are choosing boxes know the total weight the box is rated for(read the numbers inside the circle on the bottom of the box).
