shipping whole computer towers

[kof2000]

at work i often had to ship computer to the mainland so... i was how to pack and ship them. i was sort of against the way they are doing it.

putting the tower with everything still inside: psu,mobo,video,ram,cpu,hdd etc

one inch foam on all side and fill with bubble wrap or peanuts

i thought this will increase the change of a dead hdd the rest of the hardware within the drive.

originally if i had to do this i would just ship the case and the hardware seperately.

so anyone that fequently sells computers online

do you do it that way or my way

Install all the pieces, wrap the tower in bubble wrap or use styrofoam, and put in a corrugated cardboard box.
The parts will be ok; they will not shake excessively and the box/wrap will protect it from damage.
No ned to ship parts seperately.
I have bought and sold many PCs this way.
Be sure to install all 4 screws in the drives

hdd's arent as sensitive as some people make them out to be. they will surely be fine

I'ver never had that happen...ALL PCs shipped to Walmart, Costco or from Dell etc all have HDs installed, no special precautions necessary.
