Shipping Computers So They Don’t Get Broken – Insider Tips

September 21, 2020 by admin

“My son wants me to ship him a computer he was storing here,” Marianne said. “I’m happy to do it, but I have concerns. What’s the best way to ship a computer from Boston to California without it getting broken?”

As Boston shipping specialists, we help a lot of people and businesses ship computers, computer servers, gaming systems, laptops, tablets, and other electronics. These items are expensive and fragile, so obviously you want them to arrive in the best possible condition.

Here’s some useful information you can use when shipping computers:

Original Packaging is your friend. There are two types of people in this world – people who keep the original packaging their electronic items came in and people who wished they did. If you have the packaging, especially the styrofoam or foam inserts used to cushion and protect your computer when it was initially shipped, use that again to prepare your computer for shipping.

That original package then needs to go into another appropriately sized cardboard shipping box. The reason for this is simple: it’s the necessary level of protection for your valuable electronics. The structural integrity of the original packaging was compromised through use. The second box is there to protect your computer from being crushed or damaged by other packages being stacked on top of it while it’s in transit.

Within this second box, appropriate packing materials are necessary. Additionally, this box must be secured and labelled with all appropriate information in accordance with freight carrier regulations.

What’s the Fastest, Easiest Way to Ship a Computer Safely in Boston?

If you want a simple, stress free way to safely ship a computer in Boston, visit your local shipping store. The friendly team of expert shipping professionals can handle the entire job for you. Don’t have the original packaging? Don’t sweat it – we have all the shipping materials needed on hand to do the job properly. Just make sure you have the address!

"We called Boston Pack and Ship looking for someone who would ship four pieces of furniture, 12 picture boxes and two book boxes from Scituate, Massachusetts to Bellingham, Washington. The furniture included a sideboard, a dresser, a drop leaf table and a secretary desk. We knew that we didn't have enough for the usual moving company but these were things that our daughter wanted to have as they had belonged to her grandmother. Bill Yankee was most helpful. He arranged to have the items picked up and then they were then carefully packed before being shipped. Throughout, we were kept advised of the progress of the shipment and its arrival time. We felt that they took exceptional care with our belongings and were most conscientious - as well as courteous and helpful."
