When you ship a computer, you want it to arrive at its destination quickly and in good condition. The safety of your electronics depends directly on the way you pack them for shipping. You also don’t want to spend a ton of money on shipping supplies you don’t need. With that in mind, here are some money saving tips for shipping computers:
Use Original Packaging Whenever Possible
The best shipping materials to protect your computer while it’s being shipped are the same materials the computer was packed in by the manufacturer. These boxes, interior bracing, styrofoam and foam inserts were all specifically engineered to provide an optimal level of protection to your computer. If you still have them available, use them.
For an added layer of protection, place your computer packed in the original packaging inside another new cardboard shipping carton. This practice, known as double boxing, ensures your computer is protected by a shipping box with enough strength & compensates for the fact that your original shipping box has already been used at least once.
