If you are that concerned why not take the courier option. For sure the women are 1000% worth the visit just to keep rubbing your eyes and pinching yourself in disbelief. No sh*t, really, it's unnnreal. I wouldn't risk taking anything apart, no container will be more protective than that metal casing, and you'll for sure void warranty dude.
Are you not concerned for your miner?
I've already paid 240USD for shipping, but I'm looking at ways to improve my ROI, so saving on delivery is one of them + maybe safer and quicker + I get to see Stockholm (again).
Yes, I just haven't thought about it yet. I'd been quietly wondering when/if this side of Oct they planned any delivery. Now I have like 3-4 days to suddenly buy a ticket, throw stuff in a bag, make some excuses this side of the weekend and figure out what to do with a miner that's clearly larger than carry-on. I have one of those boblebee bags, I'm wondering with the camera case attachment I can separate the boards and use it as handheld. That will for sure void warranty, but it's a hard shell case with a soft structured inner. Will customs ask random q's?! The case could travel in hold.
Didn't Bono pay $10k for his favourite hat to travel first class in it's own seat when he forgot it?
I would suggest a nice Pelican case. Hard body, water proof, rollers, build in handle, and lockable. Also they frequently are used on flights by people with expensive electronics without issue. I have a nice large one for such occasion, and it's wonderful.
If they can destroy the Pelican case, there are far greater concerns about the flight itself.
Actually you are spot on there, my dad's got a few of those for cameras, and that is a lot more fragile and abused with frequent travelling, plus it comes with custom foam inserts.

Exactly. I love them. I have a large one which could fit a Jupiter. They're great.
I know some folks on here don't like me.. but I actually do try to help lol. I want to see how KNC does. I'm not a customer, I missed the early order dates. Still, I like keeping an eye out on what I believe are good companies.
