Shipping Curved Monitor

[White_Widow]

My G7 27-inch curved monitor got damaged and I don't want to lose it. So I guess I have to look for the best way to protect it or to pack it carefully. It will be shipped as a manila envelope so it cannot be damaged. However, I can't find a similar box. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

say what......you want to ship it in a manila envelope, not sure that will prevent it being damaged!

if you need a box i'd suggest popping into a supermarket and asking them for a large box then cut it down to size and pad out (not with a manila envelope!) as necessary.

Wut???

Your shipping the monitor in a envelope?

If you don't have the retail box I'd probably wrap the monitor in a layer of bubble wrap, then a layer of cardboard and then in a larger box with packing.

"It will be shipped as a manila envelope so it cannot be damaged" ...I've re-read this half a dozen times now and I just don't know what you are trying to say here. In anycase, you'll need a solid box and preferably some polystyrene to be cut to fit and support the curve, safely posting a curved monitor without the original box or the box for another monitor you can make fit is going to be risky.

Sorry nmy initial post didnt make sense.
I meant I will be wrapping it in manila paper (I think thats what its called) and marking it as fragile but I need to try find a box to wrap it and put it in.
I will try the local supermarket thank you, I was hoping there may of been something better for the job.
Thank you

there is, the original box and the polystyrene inserts it came with you don't have those so will have to improvise. also, a manila envelope is just a padded envelope. you want bubble wrap or similar to protect the monitor.
