shipping a pc What Shipping Materials Should I Use To Ship My Old Alienware Pre-Built?

[GenericBot1]

Hey guys, I recently built my first pc and moved on from my old Alienware prebuilt. I have since put it up on eBay for local pick up but got no response. I want to expand my reach to the whole of North America. What I want to know is what shipping materials should I use and where can I purchase them (online or in-person). The dimensions of the case are 14in by 9 in by 17.5 in. If you want more information on the computer ill put the eBay link below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

These are what most companies use, I like using this in addition to bubble wrap, maybe packing paper, or those air packs.

Its box that it was in is the best. Its free, already comes in with foam, and the PC usually wont budge. If you dont have the box anymore, a wooden crate or cardboard box with vaguely the same size, with foam like what @SlashedMpoint out is good, but im the kind that prefer packing peanuts.

Just make sure you dont go thin on the box.

The PC I ordered of ebay was wrapped in bubble wrap then put in between two layers of short boxes inside of a rather large box. Can't say it's cheap to ship it that way but the computer was pristine inside
