Re: Shipping a Pad



I think my ThinkPads have so many frequent flier miles they are eligible 
for first class upgrades. . .
(most of the time in or out of Denver international, famous for its 
appetite for luggage!) 

The best carrier for portable computers that I have seen is the shipping 
carton EZ-Serve repair uses.  The interior has a plastic/rubber type 
hammock in which the ThinkPad is wrapped, and it is suspended inside the 
crate.  Seems to be very effective.  I just shipped a ThinkPad to Paris 
and was nervous about it being damaged.  I called EZ serve, reported a 
problem, they send me a box--which I do intend to use the next time I 
need EZ serve--it just went to France first.

Should that not meet your needs, I have shipped ThinkPads in their case 
which then gets wrapped in bubble wrap or with some other padding.  I 
guess if you wanted to be super safe, I would hand carry the hard drive.

Hope this helps.
