Samsung sold an estimated 2.5 million no seven devices and at this stage in the game about 96% of them have been returned that's what they said two days ago anyway but how do you ship exploding phones and is it safe let's find out it's crazy that 96% of people have returned their note 7 that part is impressive it's crazy that 4% of people have not returned their note 7 they're walking around with a phone that could hurt them and there's even a fine if you fly on an airline in the United States with a note 7 of a hundred and eighty thousand dollars I can think of a couple more things that I would rather be spending that money on so this is the box that Samsung sends you when it's time to return your note 7 and in the box there's this little note right here and I think it's cool that they say that safety is our highest priority we realize that we did not meet the standards of excellence that you expect and deserve with the note 7 for that we sincerely apologize that's really cool they also go on to explain a little bit about what's inside of the box and I'm going to show you that right now so inside of this first box we have box number 1 and inside of that box we have a couple more instructions these ones are visual we have some tape to seal the box after we're done we have a plastic bag to put the note 7 in before we put it in the box and we have these gloves and why would we have rubber gloves when we ship a note 7 because of this white stuff right here so there's white stuff which is what we're going to be testing in a second is called ceramic paper normally ceramic is resistant to heat to about a thousand to 1,600 degrees Celsius so it should stand up to normal flames inside this white coated box we have one more box and inside of this box we have probably guess it one more box so it's kind of like the Russian doll of boxes here or a box inception this is the last box and this is where your actual note 7 goes if you take you know 7 put it in this bag put this bag in the box close that put it in this box and put those boxes in this box and this is the box that we're actually interested in with a ceramic paper isn't so this box was made by a company called Americus here in the United States it's got a couple of warnings on there for the shipping because this is the actual box that goes to the carrier for it they can't fly in any airlines it's only ground shipping America does make an even bigger box that can hold up to nine phones at a time and this is what you know the retailer's get like t-mobile and Verizon and AT&T the ones who are sending it back to Samsung in bulk and it also has the same type of ceramic paper around the inside it just has more compartments for cell phones but this is the box you'd get if you're a civilian so if you remember from my galaxy note 7 explosion video the one I manually exploded it lasted the flame lasted for about 30 seconds or so so we're going to see if this box can handle 30 seconds worth of flame so right now there's a direct flame right on top of the ceramic paper and it's turning black but it's not starting on fire which is which is good when you're shipping exploding phone right now the hottest thing in this box is my thumb from holding this lighter I would successfully say that this box can withstand a note seven starting on fire because it's not necessarily an explosion it's more of just you know constant flame coming out of the device there's a little bit of smoke and black stuff but it's not going to keep on burning so we've seen what happens with the boxes that are specifically designed for the recalled note 7 let's say the box was accidentally shipped in a regular like Amazon box like this one if the phone was shipped in a regular Amazon box the minute that the phone starts on fire the box would also start on fire and this is not super convenient for the shipper like FedEx or UPS who is in charge of shipping this thing I think I've made a very big mistake mob mob so airlines are not required anymore to give that spiegel about the note 7s being illegal to fly with probably cuz most people have returned their phones by now and super huge thumbs up to Samsung for owning up to their mistake and allowing these phones to be returned as quickly and safely as possible I'm pretty impressed with the box that's been designed to return those notes Evans did you have a good experience or a bad experience returning your notes Evan let me know down in the comments give this video a thumbs up thanks ton for watching and I'll see you around
