Got my big empty box...now what?

[BrianM8685]

I sent away in order to have my drum kit replaced, and I got the big empty box today.

There is a sheet describing how to pack up the drum kit, but no additional instructions. I've never had to do anything like this before, so I have no idea what to do...

Do I pack up my entire drum kit - bass pedal, drum sticks, legs, everything? Or just the part with the drum heads (which is the part that is defective.)

Also, how do I ship this box out? Do I need to pay for this? Do I bring it to some UPS place, or what?


If anybody could help me out, it would be greatly appreciated!

they didnt ship you a shipping label with it? If not that is bull, cause then u have to pay for the shipping.

if you received instructions, look at what the instructions say...if it says to pack such and such up, pack it up. From what i've seen with packages, they send you a whole new set.

to ship it out, again you need the shipping label, and you can bring it to UPS or have them pick it up for a fee.....or USPS...or whatever you like.

I am supposed to be getting my box tonight for my drums... I plan on sending everything back except the sticks, unless otherwise noted in the instructions. Look on the front of the box where the label is and see if the label is in a zip-lock bag. When I got my new guitar this was how it was. Remove the labels from the bag and put the packing slip in the box with you drums and the extra return label back in the zip-lock. Hopefully this helps. Good luck!

Cool thanks guys.

It did have a shipping label in a ziplock bag, so I just put the one that's addressed to EA Games in the front of the other ones.

I played for my drums for a few hours before packing them up, because I'm sure it will be a while before I play some again.

Ironic side-note, when I was playing, I found that if you hit the edges of the drum heads, they respond perfectly, as opposed to hitting the center as you would with a real drum kit. But now that I've discovered it, the drums are packed up and leaving tomorrow.
