amazon prime brotha. Beats buying it at a UPS store. Fucking crooks in there.

and the price on amazon is super reasonable

Amazon sells 700 feet for $28...

If you're interested, bubble wrap is on sale at Amazon. Only $14.97 for 150 feet...

Make sure you completely wrap them in this first.

You could have shipped that record USPS Priority with insurance included for $15 tops. You must have paid them to pack it for you or gotten some other type of premium service. That's pretty much the sole way that UPS stores make money, so there is a huge mark up for the service. UPS is a little more expensive then USPS but $46 for a record is ridiculous.

Do you hav more records to sell? Go to USPS.com and get yourself some free Priority mail boxes. Go to Amazon and get a giant roll of bubble wrap for $12. If you're really stressed about the records, go to home depot and get 8 feet of 1/8 inch backer board for like $10 and sandwhich the record between two small pieces. Priority shipping from Maryland to Washington will probably be $10 and includes $50 worth of insurance. Shipping supplies might cost you $2 per record shipped?

Some companies make bubble wrap pouches. Like a bubble mailer, except just the inside part. You might see if there are suppliers in your area. Here's an example, but they come in all different sizes.

Otherwise you're going to have to weigh the amount of time it takes to package these items versus the money you're losing by buying premade packing supplies.

Wrap everything in anti-static wrap

You need a few of these. Good luck!

Buy a scale. I got mine for $20 on Amazon and it weighs up to 75LB but also can weigh in ounces.

Anything under 13 oz. can ship first class for usually less than $2-4. I use poly mailers and bubble mailers for this purpose.

(I don't know if these are the best choices for your purposes, do some research on what size items you typically sell and buy mailers accordingly. These are what I buy and they fit anything from DVD's, small trinkets, and XXL jackets.)

Buy packing tape, bubble wrap, poly mailers and/or bubble mailers.

You print your shipping through eBay/PayPal because they give you a considerably decent discount and then can print straight from whatever printer you may have access to and tape it onto the package. It's acceptable to write it on a piece of paper and tape it, but then you have to wait in line at the post office (with prepaid labels, you can just drop it in the package drop box) and pay for tracking there.

This takes away the tactile part of popping this stuff which is half the fun.

Here is 175 feet of bubble wrap for $12

The riskiest part of the dock is the front "lip", which is just a thin piece of plastic. Its only function is to obscure the Switch's screen and prevent it from falling forward out of the dock. It looks like it'd be easy to crush inward, right? To prevent that, you should put something in the space to provide support. One thing that should work well is a deck of cards (standard deck of 52+instructions and jokers). The kind they usually sell everywhere (grocery stores, drug stores, etc..) in the thin cardboard boxes. Those squeeze in and should secure it from getting crushed. If that's not an option, you can hunt a substitute. I'd suggest something solid, though. If you want to shove something soft in there, like a sock (or something), you'd need to really cram it in there so it provided a solid support. If whatever you put in there yields too easily, it won't do much better than the empty space would.

Beyond that, I'd just some some thin bubble wrap (small bubbles; can't find a good, illustrative picture) and give the dock probably two layers of that. Or, if your box is more than a few inches bigger in every dimension, maybe just one layer of bubble wrap, but then use more packing foam in the box itself to fill out the space.

gotta have perks, cant have a campaign without perks.

bronze perk: Add an extra audiophile lifter base for $1000 (each). If you slip these under the lifter, the sound becomes more analog and warm.

Silver perk: Lifters are wrapped in a audiophile insulator that isolates electromagnetic interference. Not only are blacks blacker, but greens are greener, pinks are pinker and browns smell like real turds. Each lifter is treated for just $10,000

Gold perk: Dinner with /u/Arve for $100,000. After the main course (lutefisk), he will even give you a Swedish massage. OK he is Norwegian, but close enough. Tips are extra.

:-)

I'm investing in some ceiling protection

If they are roughly bottle shaped, there are also wine bubble wrap packs available. It cradles bottles within an inch of their lives.

​

Not that you'd need 20, but I can confirm they are super great. There are even "spill proof seal" ones

Because I'm kind of a weirdo, if it could be made out of anything (which I assumes means I can make up my own material, regardless of its existence), I'd want it to be pink sparkly bubblewrap (two separate links). Why? Because pink, sparkle, bubblewrap, and HANDMADE ROCKS! :D

as long as the items aren't really expensive, I think it's fine for Ebay. I would not send Etsy items this way, just because buyers there do seem to prefer a little more "class" in the packaging.

As a previous poster mentioned, I think packaging the way you do probably eats up a lot of time. Could you afford something like these bubble bags? Yes, they are more expensive than Ziploc bags, but at 10 cents per piece, maybe the time savings would be worth it.

I was also thinking about this when I first moved here, and I decided that the best idea was just to bring the expensive (but not too heavy) parts with me. i.e. GPU, RAM, CPU, SSD/HDD, maybe MoBo.

PSUs are way too heavy, and depending on where you're moving from there might be some compatibility issues with Japanese power supplies. Just buy it here.

Cases are also heavy compared to their price, best to just buy one here.

I also had a liquid cooling system (Corsair H100i), but decided not to bother since it's also pretty heavy for the price (and didn't want to risk any of the lines breaking and spilling liquid everywhere).

With regards to wrapping, by bubble wrap do you mean the anti-static kind? If not, then you should look into that. It's pretty cheap.

700 for the same price

SC PACK 3/16" 700 ft x 12"Small Bubble Cushioning Wrap, Perforated Every 12 (4 Rolls X 175 = 700 feet) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0735VSMLJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_7GJOCbZXNHJ22

I'm still using these rolls from Amazon that were posted here a while back. The reviews are all horrible and there seems to be a chance they will short you on the amount of feet, but it has been fine for me.

We bought this one from amazon back in March - the quality was good but the price jumped up though it seems to be around $30 now. Says it ships from Virginia- I do remember it coming on a big single roll and was bubble boy wrap brand.
I did not count back then but just ordered a roll now and will post results. I make nothing from this link FYI.

Scrolling through new, saw this post got curious and found this 1 ft wide 350ft roll for 20$ amazon

22.99 for infinite bubbles

or 18.50 for 350ft of bubbles

You might be ok leaving it in, however if you are worried about the gpu wiggling there you can throw in a couple of packing airbags, I've seen they ship prebuilt systems like that.

I moved a pc cross country with the gpu on and was totally fine.

Unfortunately your raffle phrase is true for me as well! I can't stop procrastinating.

I think that you should buy this.

For reasons.


And from my wish list, an album.

Infosec guy here. After traveling to a recent conference, and adding to my statistically improbably collection of "This bag was searched by TSA" notices, I got in the habit of tossing any storage media (thumb drives, etc.) in a tamper-evident, sealed bag. They're cheap on Amazon.

I don't think TSA would have any problem with opening the bag if they really wanted to, but I suspect the average TSA agent doesn't really give a shit, and prefers the path of least resistance. Also why all my devices are encrypted.

This is what I ended up doing as I didn't have the original box either. If you go this route, you'll probably need 2 of these (at least I did to be extra safe). I shipped the graphics card in a separate package entirely. If you have a bulky heatsink remove that too, otherwise if you have an AIO you can keep it on. Use ground shipping if you can, as air can be more unpredictable. Good luck on the move!
