Send recorded delivery, otherwise you'll be the next one of our daily "paypal/ebay problem! HELP".

Wouldnt send them via post tbh, see what a courier would cost you?

You will need to send it courier. 1st class is not suitable.

Youwill need to specify weight and size. This can only be found by actually building one and weighing it.
Its impossible to guess since every PC is different.

Depends on how much data is on the hard drives. A full hard drive will be 1 or 2 lbs heavier and cost you more to send.

This is very true. Ever noticed how PCs that don't come with an OS are cheaper to buy?

If you pack the boxes with helium balloons then technically you'd be into - (Minus)Kg and they would owe you money for transporting them, thus increasing your profits.

Yeah good plan, or just put the PC in a case of hydrogen or something. It's super effective!
