How do I pack computer components for shipping.

[proropke]

I'm going to be selling my old parts as I will be upgrading and I do not know how to pack them correctly so they can be delivered safely. I did some research but I'm still not sure.

Do I need anti static bags for every component or just for the motherboard and graphics card, because if I remember correctly those were the only parts that came with anti static bags when I built my pc. If not then for what components do I need to use them.

I'm also thinking about upgrading to an ultra wide and my current monitor is worth more than £200 so I would like to sell it aswell, however I got no idea how to protect the screen, because I'm sure that using only bubble wraps wont help a lot.

I'm guessing for small components like ram and cpu I do not need bubble wraps or anti static bags, I just have to make sure that the cpu doesn't move so the pins won't bend am I right ?

Depends on what you are sending.

Graphics card in a anti static bag with lots of bubble wrap is a good way to go, if you don't have the original box. If you have the original boxes the best thing is to put it in with a anti static bag in the original box with another made box of the outside.

RAM is good in a anti static bag with bubble wrap but if you can get the proper boxes for them then you shouldn't need a anti static bag. Here is an idea of what I mean.

CPU's are the same as RAM get one of those boxes made for the CPU if possible if not just get a anti-static bag and bubble wrap.

I sold my monitor but no courier will insure it. I had a old lawnmower box which I wrapped my monitor in bubble wrap 5-6 times then made a little hole for it, then I got another bit of cardboard to put in front of it and then put all the stuff down there, you just have to use common sense really.

I would anti-static bag and bubble wrap everything, but that's just me.
If your cpu has pins then i would sell it in the little plastic case that it came in.
Not sure how you would go about selling a monitor, maybe try selling it in the locally first so you can hand deliver or have someone come pick it up.
