Your Ultimate Guide To
Shipping Electronics Safely
2
As individual consumers (instead of just
businesses) are shipping electronics more and
more, often to make money selling their old
electronics like laptops and cellphones, its
imperative they arrive unscathed to receive their
full value. When shipping electronics, there
are definitely some best practice methods.
On the next few pages, you will learn the steps
to ensure your package gets delivered to its
recipient in as good a condition as you mailed it.

STEP 1
Power OFF the Device
Make sure you turn off the device before packing
it. This protects both the life of the device and
the battery from burning out.
Best Practice Remove the battery from the device
to ensure it doesnt accidentally turn on during
shipping.

STEP 2
Choose Bubble Wrap
Not with this
Wrap with this
Wrapping your electronics in bubble wrap allows
for more protection against the weight of other
boxes being places on top of yours during
shipping.
Use enough bubble wrap so that the device isnt
able to be jostled around in the box. The more
freedom to move about, the less protected from
possible damage.

STEP 3
Pick the Right Size Box
Choose a box size in relation to the size of the
device. A box too big means you will have to
use a lot of packing material to fill it up. A
box too small will mean you may not be able to
use enough bubble wrap to really provide
sufficient protection.

STEP 4
Use Packing Tape
This is the good stuff
You want to make sure to use a tape designed for
packing and shipping to ensure the box will stay
closed, instead of using normal, multi-purpose
home and office tape the glue is just not
strong enough for what you need it to do.
Best Practice Pay extra close attention when
sealing the bottom of the box. You never want to
run the risk of the device falling out the bottom
upon arrival.

STEP 5
Mark Your Box
Write FRAGILE on the box or print out a sign to
tape to the side. This will give a heads up that
your package needs to be handled with a little
extra care.
Best Practice Consider purchasing a box
pre-labeled for shipping fragile items.

Youre Done.
Ship It!
After you attach the address label you are ready
to ship your package knowing that you did
everything you could to ensure your devices safe
delivery.
Best Practice Use clear packing tape over the
address label to make sure it doesnt get damaged
or torn off.
