How can I send a PC.

[Ishraq]

Say I wanted to send a PC from Manchester to Coventry (UK btw). It has watercooling and a lot of radiators prefilled. How do I go about sending it?

I would remove everything but the motherboard and psu. Wrap them all individually, them pack the inside of the case with bubble wrap. Mark the box as fragile, and insure it.

Ok but let's say I sold this pc to a person who didn't know how to assemble on e.g. like eBay or something and they were to use it out of the box

then they better learn fast! lol. i would just empty the liquid, and take out the GPU and wrap it alone. put the case in the box that the case originally came in.

Ugh... Dangit... Then how do custom pc manufacturers do it?

TBH, idk. i would imagine there is some assembly required.

From Manchester to Coventry is a hop, skip and a jump (only 107 miles). I would strap it on the back of my bike and personally deliver it. Make a good impression too.

Okaayyy.... I was thinking more of a delivery service to send it.

I know, I was only kidding. I hope you did not mind,

Lol it's fine

It's a tricky one, the GPU would need supporting if it wasn't removed.

I would fill the whole inside of the PC with bubblewrap or something to stop anything from moving around.

Cool. Does anyone know a reliable service to send it through

In the US I would use UPS or FedEx but I do not know whether those are available in the UK.

Some of the pc makers use firms like this, I don't think it is cheap, you would probably want insurance. I expect the Post Office would do it also.

Couriers | Parcel Delivery | Next Day Delivery | City Link Courier Services
