Default Circle D - The Box

A little video we did describing our custom packaging, we want to make sure your Circle D converter arrives in perfect condition.

Default The box!

So I'm just posting to verify the quality of the packaging my converter came in, it's hands down the best packaging I've gotten any of my parts shipped in , I just received it yesterday, just gotta get the rest of the parts to finish up my swap and get it going.

Mine was packaged perfectly too.
Especially a nice touch that converter bolts are included and even thick spacer washers if needed.

My only suggestion is to have a much more prominent full-box-size instruction sheet that emphasizes the importantance of measuring the 1-1/8" distance to the converter pads and how to do it. Your tiny instructions just say something like "verify according to factory specs" - few know what they are and where to find them. Few would even notice the instructions in the envelope.
IIRC all GM transmissions have the identical 1-1/8" distance and other manufacturers are only slightly different.
I think a good instruction sheet would reduce the number of improper installs than ruin the trans and converter. Just my 2-cents worth.

Still, excellent packaging and I look forward to testing the new converter when winter is over.

Good suggestion, that is one of the more common tech calls. I will see what we can come up with...

Besides building excellent converters, Chris and Brian are incredibly generous with their time and answer any and all converter related questions here!
IMHO, their excellent support is the #1 reason to do business with them. I read every transmission thread here and have never read a single complaint about their product or service. My thanks for how much I have learned from them.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Your boxes are by far the best packaging I have ever seen. I have ordered a lot of stuff from a lot of places and the only company that even came close was FAST when I ordered my ez-efi. But circle d was still better. Oh and the converter is pretty nice too..........

Thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. We are also working on a video about our billet parts, showing how we make them in house - going to be very cool.
