I'm buying RAM and a motherboard from amazon and i'm wondering what are there packaging like. i am spending over £100 and i don't know if i trust amazon. I have other websites that i know from experience that are good like scan.co.uk. if amazon isn't good then i wouldn't mind paying £5 or so on scan for better packaging. anyone have any experience with amazon?

Not sure on the UK, but here in the US I always have received flawless packaging from Amazon. The last expensive (and fragile) thing I bought from them is a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD which came in a much bigger box than what's needed, all filled with this balloon like inflated bags (don't know the name, is like oversized bubble wrap) so I was very pleased.

This is of course just my experience but I'll continue to buy from them.
