Default What to use to send video card in?

I am going through an rma process to get my video card replaced and I don't have any "anti-static bags". I was wondering if just putting the card in a ziploc bag would be fine. I just don't want them to send back the card saying stuff like "oh you damaged your video card by not sending it in an anti-static bag so tough luck".

Putting it in no bag would be better than a Ziploc bag, I think. The main concern here is static build up when you put the item in and out of the baggie. It may be best to use crumpled up newspaper as a packing material in a small box. You should be able to get an anti-static baggie or some anti-static bubble-wrap at something like Radio Shack (if they still exist), which would be best. Or go to a local computer builder and ask them for a baggie - they should have lots around.

Anti sttatic bubble wrap is the best.... cushions your delicate items as well as protecting them from stray shocks etc... I always have some on hand. :d
