Hi, I'm finally getting around to selling off some of my, uh, excess, Macs - since I no longer have anywhere to store them. I'm going to have to mail some Macs, including an SE and SE/30 interstate, and was pondering how best to package them to ensure that they survive the tender mercies of Australia Post.
Of the boxes I have, the only ones large enough to accomodate a compact Mac will leave a gap of 4cm (1.25") between the sides of the Mac and that of the box. There will be a gap of 10cm (4") between the front and rear of the Mac and the box (some of the space between the Mac's rear and the box will be occupied by the keyboard and mouse) and around 3cm (1.125") between the top and bottom of the Mac and the box. Are these "buffers" large enough? I plan of filling them with stiff sheets of styrofoam, of the sort styrofoam boxes are made of, after wrapping the Mac and it's accessories in bubblewrap or something similar first, then plastering the finished product with "FRAGILE" and "THIS WAY UP ^" stickers. Is this a good approach, or should I do something different? FWIW the boxes themselves hail all the way from sunny Ohio and have a "certificate" on the bottom stating that it can withstand up to 35lb/in crush pressure.
