How did I end up here?
I understand there are many ways to successfully pack fragile electronics for shipping.
and many more ways not to.
Everyone has their own horror story of something arriving with only crumpled newspaper or similar as packaging and then having to go though the tedious process of claims and refunds, etc.
For my shipping, I typically choose to use my local UPS Store whenever possible. (YMMV)
Yes - it is costly, but at this point in my life with two small children at home, I do not often have the time, nor do I sell the volume, to justify buying the supplies to pack these myself.
Each of us has to make this decision on their own.
Recently, I had to ship something across the country. Literally 2,500 miles.
Here are some pictures of the box after it arrived:
Fortunately - for me and the buyer - the item still arrived safely.
