Ship a computer in a safe way

How to send an entire PC safely?

To many, a PC may seem robust and stable. However, many times appearances are deceiving. Inside there are many individual pieces that can be detached or even damaged in case of rough and negligent handling.
Do not be afraid though! By using enough filler material, you can contribute to increase the security of your shipment. Consider that all cards, including the graphic card and the CPU cooling system, are detached parts of the computer and set aside.

Further, fill the PC chassis with newspapers or crumpled wrapping paper so to avoid movements or any kind of vibrations during the transport.
The detached parts must be packed individually using an adequate quantity of wrapping paper. Finally, everything should be placed in a large and stable cardboard, which certainly offers additional space for wrapping paper.

FAQ – Computer shipping

Can I ship a laptop with the battery installed via europacco?

Shipping a notebook with an integrated battery is possible, provided it is the original battery and an integral part of the device. It is also possible to include additional batteries in the shipment, as long as they are securely packaged and placed inside the same parcel. It is essential that all items are properly packed and that nothing can move freely inside the box. It is recommended to turn off the computer before shipping and to pack it properly; this way, the shipment will be handled as a normal shipment of electronic devices.

How can I insure my iPad or PC during shipment?

When completing the order, you can select insurance and enter the actual value of your device, supported by an invoice. Insurance covers up to €1,500, with a cost equal to 1.5% of the declared value (minimum €3.50). Only parcels and pallets can be insured; documents are excluded. In case of damage, it is essential to keep the packaging, inform the recipient to accept with reservation, and report the damage within 2 working days.

Is it possible to ship multiple electronic devices (for example, a notebook and a tablet together) in the same parcel?

Yes, several electronic devices can be shipped in the same parcel. Each device must be individually protected with suitable materials (bubble wrap, cardboard, etc.) to avoid damage from mutual impacts. A practical solution: packing the tablet and notebook separately inside a sturdy box ensures safety and easy handling.

Are there any restrictions on certain hardware components (CPU, RAM, hard drive, SSD) when shipping a PC?

There are no restrictions on standard hardware components, provided they are intended for normal private or commercial use. It is important that they are firmly secured or properly protected inside the parcel or case to avoid damage during transport.

Can I request a pickup of the computer from an office or a shop?

Pickup can be requested at any address in Italy, including offices, shops, companies, or workplaces. Simply specify the desired address in the online form. This flexibility is designed both for private individuals and professionals managing shipments from their workplace.
