<p>i need to ship a desktop computer from LA to Boston. any tips on how i should go about doing this? are there companies that will pack it/my monitor for me?</p>
<p>Around here, we have "the UPS store" and a few other mailing places (I don't think USPS does anything other than simply mailing it). If you take it there, they will sell you the box and pack it for you. They also insure it up to a certain amount and the extra insurance isn't too much more money. Also, if you pack it yourself, they usually won't honor the insurance if something breaks.</p>
