sending mine via UPS this morning it cost me 21 bucks. plus 7 bucks for the box. 
 
it's going to arrive there Thursday. The next option, to have it arrive wednessday, was 84 lmao

I just sent mine off USPS fully insured and it will be there Monday for 21$ each. I checked fedex and UPS and it would have been crazy $ with them.

I sent mine from USPS costed me 27$ with insurance, should be there Monday. I was seriously considering on not getting insurance as I dont have an invoice to make a claim anyway if something goes wrong, but it was only 10$ for insurance so I was ok.

Did anyone who already shipped their GPU have the anti static bag to put it in? I unfortunately got rid of the anti static bag without even thinking about it, kept everything else though (retail box, covers, manuals, etc.).  Trying to think where I could pick up an anti static bag without buying one from amazon since all the pc stores (comp usa, tiger direct, etc.) closed their brick and mortar stores long ago and I doubt Best Buy has them.

I didnt even have a box. I emailed EVGA and they told me to use lots of newspaper to wrap the card and thats what I did.

where do you live? 
 
damn i am having regrets. 
 
did you do a flat rate box or something?

I live in CA also so I am sure that helped. Funny story I actually used way over sided boxes also and a ton of packing peanuts. All the boxes I could find were either half an inch too small or giant. Express mail for 6lbs and I was able to use my own box.

EVGA uses UPS and they use what is called 200lb Burt Strength shipping boxes.
 
Regardless of who you chose to use. I highly recommend that you find a true shipping box similar to the ones EVGA uses and protect your card that you are shipping with a good amount of impact protection. It is recommended that you use the original retail box your GPU came in as well, inside the shipping box.

QFE=Quote for effect: Afterburner, long time since i've seen you, of course if i have seen you since i have been sick then please disregard this lol :p
 
Good to see ya again. Oh, btw, i was speaking was Evga-Tech support and i said i never received an Authorization code, and the Evga-Tech i was talking to in La Brea Ca, North America said that since i registered bought my GPU with Evga.com only, then they would have the Authorization code taken care of Internally in their database i guess for me.
 
I Just bought my 5 year Extended Warranty, so now everything is A-okay so far......

Yeah, the proof of purchase, which since i get it directly from Evga.com, i guess  that they have my order in their database which is good for me heh. Btw, sometimes it is, like you said good to be busy, as i'm still trying to get well from being in and out of hospitals and getting meds current. Keeping busy can really help from going crazy to lol, like trying to clean the parents house, and pay their bills along with my own heheh. Take care bud, i have always wanted to try Folding/Crunching, but have always been afraid of losing my Gpu's early from doing such intense work. 
 
P.S. I think more people should learn about Folding/Crunching, and how it may be able to benefit Science and Biological causes?
Take care.

I sent my 1080 FTW card back in a usps priority mail box. Medium size fit it just fine in its original packaging minus the box. I just wrapped it in some bubble wrap to fill in. $24 with 600 insurance. Worked out just fine. There are 2 medium size boxes, just hit the larger one and you're an all set. Now to wait for the 1080 Ti SC or SC2 to get added to the stepup list.

I have the same card and original box. The large flat rate box says it's only 3" high on both versions of the large flat rate box and the original box is about 3 3/4" to 4" tall. I didn't think it would fit in the large much less the medium. Maybe I'm reading the flat rate box dimensions wrong but going by what it says it's only 3" tall on the medium and large. Both versions of each. I guess I'll just wait till Monday and go down in person to make sure instead of doing it online.

Even if it does fit, they say to make sure at least 2" of padding all around it or it will be rejected. Did you have enough room to add padding around all sides inside the medium box?

There is a new medium box. They called it a shirt box at my post office. It is longer than the older box. I did not actually worry about the 2inch thing. The foam the 1080 came in had plenty of padding and fit well in the box. I had something bubble wrap I added. I generally make sure there is close contact on the sides and pad the rest. The cardboard inner box wouldn't fit, but the foam inner core did fit.

So I am waiting to receive my 1080 FTW ICX Upgrade to come from EVGA as I sent back my ACX 3.0 and will def be doing the Ti Step Up. I have never done Step Up before and am curious as to how long we can anticipate for the ICX Ti cooler to be added? Anyone remember how long it was for them to add the ACX 3.0 cooler for 1080 when they were released? Thinking of waiting near end of my 90 window to do to see what option there will be.

It has been quoted at multiple places that EVGA will not be adding any "custom cards" for Step-up. I saw one post where someone said that EVGA rep told him only FE would be added.
 
Seeing the pattern I am inclined to think there is a chance that non-OC ICX might be added but since it hasnt even been announced it is very less likely.
 
Only time I have seen an OC card added is for UK 1080 SC so EVGA is unpredictable in the regards.
 
But I would suggest people who are waiting for EVGA to add those cards to enter the queue for FE anyway, since you can easily cancel before making the payment.
