Proper Packaging of Electronics for Returns
This week’s tech tip is more of the common sense tip. IF you can physically see most of the item you are shipping, that it is not enough packaging. I cannot count the numerous times that I have had computer / printer equipment returned to Corporate not properly packaged.
The best package to return an item with is the original packaging, which in most cases are Styrofoam molds for the equipment. I recommend keeping some of the original packing that the IT Department has sent the new equipment out in case you need to return the item.
IF you do not have the original packaging , either purchase a box with proper packing material from a local shipping store ( UPS, FedEx , etc…). The last resort is to wrap the equipment in bubble wrap and make sure that the item does not shift in the box. These boxes are not handled with care from the shipper, so over doing it on the packing is the best way.
Placing a laptop in a UPS or FedEx medium box is not proper packing!
