    Sending/posting off a monitor - any recent experience?

    I'm hoping to sell my monitor and was wondering how to send it with seom insurance as it seems to be an item not covered in the cases of many couriers.

    Its not a very expensive item.

    package it very well and it'll be fine.

    I used a bit of chipboard to protect the screen, worked like a treat.

    Composite cardboard boxing and bubble wrap/polystyrene for screen protection.

    Your main goal is to create a sturdy outer packaging and some internal material which would serve as a motion inhibitor (so the screen would not bang itself up).

    I've used this company before for posting computer parts. As long as the monitor is under 32" it should be fine:

    http://www.interparcel.com/

    They'll collect it from you, & in my case they were actually cheaper than Parcelfarce

    cling film it to stop marks in transit.
