Best method to ship a monitor?
paigeoliver:
Also, try calling/going by your local distributor and seeing if you can buy/borrow/steal the original box/packing material for a 25" monior.

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking I'll give my local UPS store a call and pick their brain, and perhaps ask how much it would be for them to pack it properly... although I'm betting it will be quite a bit.
I'll have to look around and see if I can find anyone who may have an original box. Anybody know of any places that might have a box in central/northern NJ?
I know I asked in the first post, but does anyone know what a 25" monitor weighs roughly? That'll help me get at least an idea of how I can ship it and what it will cost.
Thanks again.

New Jersey is the arcade capital of the world.
Just go online to happs or something and check the weight of the monitor there.

Check out http://groups.google.com in RGVAC for posts made by a guy named Art Mallet. He's shipped hundreds of monitors. Somewhere in his posts he's detailed how he does them. He says he's never lost one. Ever.

Thanks peale, I found what you were talking about. It was very very helpful. Hopefully I can find someone with a real monitor box and inserts tomorrow, but if not, I'll be using Art's method. Thanks again.
