You recently sold a CPU processor to a friend or associate in another city. The transaction went smoothly and now you need to mail the CPU processor. You know the piece of computer hardware is delicate and, if not packed correctly, can be damaged. The best way to mail a CPU processor is through a shipping service that offers insurance that covers the item and delivery confirmation that will let you know when the processor arrives to the recipient.
Packing
Place a small static bag on top of the CPU processor and wrap the bundle in thin bubble wrap. Use shipping tape to seal the bundle close. Place the sealed bundle in a small box, and fill the box with peanuts or shredded paper. If the box contains any type of writing on the outside of it, cover the box with brown or white craft paper. You can also scratch out the writing with a black marker, but wrapping the small box with craft paper looks better. Place your address on the upper left-hand corner and the recipient's address in the lower right-hand corner.
You can write "fragile" on the box or some other type of warning, but this is no guarantee that the shipping service you are using will handle the package with care.
Shipping
Once you select a shipping service to mail the CPU processor, purchase insurance for the processor based on the value of the item. Also, get a delivery confirmation for the item so you will know when the recipient receives the CPU processor. If the recipient needs the processor in a day or two, ship the item through an express services; the price for shipping will be higher though.
Follow-up
Email or call the recipient after you receive confirmation that the item has arrived. Ask the recipient if the item arrived OK and if it is in working condition. If there is a problem with the CPU processor due to shipping, an insurance claim needs to be filed.
