View Example

iMacs & Mac Pros: with original box & foam inserts

  • Place iMac in the foam inserts to ensure device is suspended and not resting on bottom of box. Individually wrap loose accessories in 2” of bubble wrap. Affix label and ship directly in original box.

iMacs & Mac Pros: without original box

  • Carefully wrap entire iMac in at least 2” of bubble wrap. Double wrap (4”) all corners, edges, and stand. Place in center of box with at least 3” of CRUSH SPACE on all sides between iMac and the edge-of-box. Please confirm ALL four corners and stand are wrapped in 4” of bubble wrap, pack tightly into a sturdy large box.

DO NOT:

  • Ship in a flimsy old box
  • Use insufficient bubble wrap
  • Pack item in too small box
  • Leave item powered on
  • Loosely throw in accessories

Common Mistakes

  • Shipping your Mac without 3”-4” of padded crush space
  • Re-using an old box that is either too flimsy or too small
  • Not taping a thick layer of at least 1” bubble wrap to all sides
  • Leaving empty space in box without packing material

It is your responsibility to fully secure the packaging of your device before you ship them. CashForYourMac is not responsible for damage to poorly packed shipments!
