I am selling all three of my 20.1" Syncmaster monitors here on the classified, and I really do not know how one could ship them without spending loads of money on shipping costs. I am sure I could package them safely to ship, but I really dont know how to ship things cheaply.

in a BIG cardboard box with more foam insulation and bublewrap then you can carry(thats the safe way) the other option is just putting them in a box and marking it fragile

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Okay, wrap them in a box with newspaper.  Make sure you stuff it full so the monitor doesn't shake inside of the box.  You should try to find a box that will fit all 3 monitors and stands, and then package the monitors and stands detached from each other.  Correlate it so the stands and monitors alternate a lot.

Great place to get boxes.  Also when shipping it, size matters more than weight.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!

problem with marking things as fragile is that delivery guys (especially royal mail) do the exact opposite and probably play football with it

thats why buble wrap exits, duh
