you know shipping companies put your products well being at the top of their list when you find a size 12 imprint right over the 'fragile handle with care' stamp on the box and when you pick it up, a gentle melody of tinkling glass against metal assures you that all is well
To be fair, loaders pay attention at the start of the shift. But when its the end of the day. And you've got two more trailers left to go. And its the holidays so they've got you working 6 out of 7 days instead of the normal 5. And you have to show up two hours early because your site is way behind since orders are crazy.
Well, that's usually when size 12 imprint over the "fragile handle with care" stamp can happen.
@@robertkeaney9905 Completely understood on the attitude when overworked - but it isn't an excuse to damage or mistreat peoples items. I had a delivery of a motherboard where the worker frisbeed the box from their car on to my porch - the board didn't make it - he didn't expect me to open the door as it was in the air. It was likely not the first time it was mishandled on its journey to me. Thankfully it wasn't a Newegg motherboard lol.
The box for my lian li case had a hole kicked in it on the tempered glass side. 100% is a kick hole. Lucky the glass was in one piece
You guys see the beginning and end of the process.loader and unloader don't care if it had fragile sticker on it. After certain weight they will just drop it. Since covid the numbers of packages has increase, work load is harder so pack your stuff well.
Oh forgot to add more packages, more on conveyor belt. Sometime they get stuck and the pressure may crush/puncture the box.
Blame underpayed workers and overwork.
I don’t know how you do it but you literally took the most mundane thing and made it entertaining. Bloody brilliant video and very informative
Just in case anyone is looking for the previous video, the title was "Will it arrive undamaged?? Place your bets", uploaded on December 17th, 2018.
It was the top result when searching for "jayztwocents instapack".
Also, it's quite nostalgic for long time fans as it was filmed in the old studio. Almost forgot about it already.
how do you not know how he does it? it's literally in the video
It's that patented Pop & Splooge technology. It makes everything entertaining!
The most positive and brown nosey comments get the most upvotes on YT. You guys have figured out the moderation algorithm.
Oh and having a verified check mark helps too.
@♜ Pinned by Jayz TwoCents bots have evolved to now have "pinned" in their name huh
I used to manage a UPS Store, and remember thoroughly training my gamer associates on how to pack/crate customer PCs with care like this. We never got a claim for a damaged computer that we packed. I’m glad we took the PC packing super seriously because, as Jay mentions, there is a 100% chance that other UPS and shipping locations will not
Yep, you never know the level of packing your items will reicve. It may receive excellent care and attention, but it is equally possible that you could get a store that does not pack things as carefully.
I think that making sure to pack expensive items like a PC or other fragile electronic items well is a good idea since they are expensive and it would be a pain to have to deal with the claims process along with the frustrated or angry customer...
Yeah because when those things are getting loaded at a UPS hub people are standing on them and hucking them around with no care. And that's after they're flying down belts and getting jammed up with hundreds of pounds of other packages down chutes. You have to really pack stuff good, people just send $1,000 monitors and PC's in their OG packaging. And I would see them with holes punched in the boxes from them getting speared by other sphere packages.
Except that one PC that Bigfry bought and UPS destroyed it.
Hi, i have a question, how much would it cost to send a pc from california to brazil? I'm trying to send my old pc to my friend that really needs it
True dat
Fun fact, if you take a pc to the distribution center of like a Fedex for example, you could have it "crated" and from past experiences i've had water cooled PC's shipped cross-country without them inspecting the box. Maybe they are more lenient because they have it on a crate. Not too sure but yeah, maybe this is an option for some people to look into!
but did you insurance it ?
FedEx is just in it for the money, they will basically accept anything
JS i have had friends pay to use that, and the PC arrived "crated" in a single layer unpadded cardboard box, with all the internals totally destroyed by the gpu and cooler which had both ripped off (yay intel pushpins). I'd never trust them to pack something like a modern gaming PC properly, double so if the case has tempered glass anywhere on it.
@@TheOriginalFaxon I have had equipment returned to the office in that condition as well. It was Purolator, remember them? They managed to drop, I mean throw a desktop PC down a flight of stairs or so it appeared when it arrived back.
It isn't just these guys that can destroy equipment. In one company, I shipped a $80K digital imaging system to a customer in Mexico. The equipment arrived upside down and destroyed. The fiber laser alone cost $15K when sold separately. This wasn't a small unit either. The crate was about 6-1/2 feet high X 4 feet long and weighed about 1500 lbs.
@@ownagemods It likely also depends on the the Fedex center and how strict the employees follow the rules about how things are packaged for Shipping. Same for a UPS Store. Probably even more variation in the case of a UPS Store since UPS Stores are franchises while I am pretty sure Fedex Centers are owned by Fedex themselves instead of by local business owners.
Glad I saw this, my brother sent me his “broken pc” which was just a failed SSD boot drive, provided him with few upgrades and was wondering how should i mail his pc back to him safely… need to get some of that insta pack for the inside of the pc… i mean its not a 5K pc but a pc is a pc and needs to be safe. ❤️ thanks for the how to videos Jay really appreciate what you and Nick and Phil do for us!! 💪🏼
I was asked to repair a system that was mailed badly. High end graphics card got killed because it fell out, as did the CPU and cooler. I wound up building her a whole new system
@@jonathanwessner3456 yeah thats my true fear, is that happening, unfortunately my brother does not know how pc’s work. But thats awesome you replaced the system. Mailing is scary 😧
I think that anything worth more than 400-500 dollars is worth spending a bit extra on packing materials should be packed with care unless you want to gamble on it getting to its destination in one piece. The instapacks are insane and really useful. I wish that we had some where I work packing stuff.
@@alexoqu I would say that keeping the items secured inside the system is the most important step to keeping the PC safe. You then just need to a bit of packing to keep the case itself from getting dingged up along with absorbing any impacts before they can make it to the more delicate parts in your PC like motherboard and GPU
At the risk of sounding like a suck up, I wanted to thank you for everything you do. You and your team have reignited my life long love of computers and software development that I lost when both of my parents died a few years back. I’ve waited for over a year for prices to come back down to build my first “modern” gaming system, the last one I build was about 15 years ago. The wait isn’t all bad though, I’ve spent this time watching you, learning new things and doing extensive research on exactly what I want in this pc. Your videos about gaming PCs and computer knowledge in general have given me something to focus on besides trying to game on an M1 Mac Mini (2020).
Keep up the good work my friend.
BTW sorry my writing is garbage, it’s very late here and I can’t sleep so I’m watching your older videos to keep my attention until I crash. 😂
Hope you're doing well
As someone who used to work for FedEx, I love computers, so I always packed with the utmost care. And as a little pro tip, after the instapack "splooge" you can spread it across the entire bag so it properly fills out the whole thing. If you just let it splooge and leave it, it usually just fills half the bag, forcing you to use more of them. (Like what happened where it didn't go beneath the graphics card.) Also, another tip, don't use moving/storage boxes to ship, those things are pathetic and puncture/collapse easily.
Yeah, what you really need is some Appliance boxes, those are double corrugated cardboard, when the standard moving boxes are single.
@@th3R0b0t If you’re actually shipping it then yeah that’s definitely a good idea. If it’s just going in the car with you though moving boxes are fine. Lay down a blanket or thick towel in the seat to absorb some road vibrations, box sits on the blanket, strap it in tight with the seat belt. And never forget to look at it and say “yep, that’s not going anywhere.”
@@charlesbrown4483 Yep, if you are moving the Home Depot or Amazon boxes would be fine to use especially if being transported in you car. If shipping then I would always use 200lb or stronger card board boxes for other outer shipping box. This is especially the case for anything that has a value of more then a few hundred dollars 😎
what are the best kind of boxes to get then? I have a Thermaltake cube case for my PC, so having a good case that will fit my pc when I sell it is a concern for me. Also, could you achieve the same grade of packaging if you filled the voids in a case with bubble wrap instead? I have quite a lot of that
Good job to Jay, Phil & Nick and to your support staff.. kudos to all of you.. hopefully she gets the PC and hope she makes a short video that she has received and unboxed it.. again Good Job to everyone
So that's how it works. Nice to know, thank you for taking the time to not only make this for us, but to take the time and properly pack that pc for her!
This packing material looks amazing! I never knew of it until now. Thanks Jay!
Also, it's "P.P.E." Personnel Protective Equipment.
I’m bout to transfer to San Diego from Washington DC in a couple of weeks, going to be driving across the country and I don’t wanna ship my PC.. so I was wondering how I was gonna pack it and thank god you came out with a video just before I began to wonder what to do!! I love your videos and been supporting you for more than 2 years. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻

awesome what you do Jay!! you truly are a person with the heart on the right place!
Super helpful. Liked and subbed!
The first video about this process was great info. Found it super helpful when we moved halfway across the country last year. I packed 3 PCs this way and all arrived in perfect shape. Hardest part was finding Instapack for a reasonable price.

I just got a job at fedex ground and every time I see a prebuilt pc, I load it onto the truck suuuuper carefully. Doin my part!
Thanks for doing your part, hopefully some idiot further down the line doesn't ruin them 😂
Not all hero's wear capes :p At least some people care
@@curtisss I only load like 2-4 trucks a day, so I look at other people when the computers dont come to my truck and they're just tossing it off the belt : (
@@combatwombat594 what little bit of care helps I suppose!
@nomasporfavor that's mean..
Jay, you are a bloody legend, period. Solidly backed by Nick and Phil!
Yeah, the most important part of shipping/moving a PC is to keep the original case packaging and use that as your starting point. Inconvenient if you don't have any place to store it, but it was literally designed to protect the exact shape of the case without damage. So if you keep that starting point, you're way ahead of the game. Same for monitors, TVs, etc.
A related but different topic: when moving a PC from one place to another, a wheeled cart seems like a great idea ... with caveats. First, gravity still happens, so never put the PC upright on the cart because it can topple. Put it on its side. Preferably on a piece of foam or padding because... Second, carts don't have suspension. All those jarring little vibrations transfer to the PC components. REALLY bad for mechanical spinning-rust hard drives which have tiny moving parts. Carrying by hand, using the human body as a suspension system can be a LOT safer, especially with older PCs. But because handles rarely exist (and if they are, are almost never as strong as they seem) on PCs, any kind of strap (or rope) you can put around it to give yourself a secure hold on something as you move it is a huge plus if the case is too large or heavy to hold easily. And if tempered glass panels are on the case, when possible, remove those and carry them separately. They break easily, sometimes from the most seemingly innocuous things. Because tempered glass is under some weird pressures. Super strong ... until it explodes from a minor ding.
i always repack in the orginal case box
One tip I saw some time back (I dunno if here or somewhere else) was to use the box the case came in to store all the component boxes in. That way, when you see your case box stored wherever, you also know anything related to that pc is there. And as you said, also means you have that as a starting point for shipping as well if needed.
@@JuffoWup78 That's what I do. You still need to be able to store the case box somewhere, but at least then everything is together when you need it.
I took a whole closet in our house with original PC parts boxes. And the empty Case box is perfect for keeping the boxes for the other components.
That depends on your case, some cases come assembly required
Great timing on this video as I will need to ship my PC in a few months when I have to change duty stations.
@♜ Pinned by Jayz TwoCents get lost scammer
Safe travels man! I’m doing the same but I’m driving across the country instead. From east coast to west coast 😂
This is literally exactly what I needed for my long distance travel that's coming up! Thank you
Honestly for me, this video just came out at the right time because I'm about to move to another country in a few days and I've been thinking how to pack and ship my PC safely there. Thanks a lot, man!
I remember I used packing peanuts in 2006 to fill the whole void in my PC when I had to take it overseas. Then, I used a lot of packing stuff to protect the case inside my suitcase. Even though I thought that, and declaring my suitcase as fragile, was enough to make it safe, the super gentle guys at the destination airport managed to (probably throw the whole suitcase) make a dent and misalign my PC case. Fortunately, all the components inside (spinning 250GB WD Black HHDD, Geforce 6600GT, AMD processor, motherboard and DVD burner drive) survived the trip. Case is still being used 16 years later.
@♜ Pinned by Jayz TwoCents scam
same thing happened to my Cello
Nice! How did you get all the peanuts out of the case? Wouldn't that make a bunch of small styrofoam pieces inside the case?
@@jamesfstokes It took hours to remove them by hand, and then vacuuming with care. I live in a high humidity place, so static electricity is not much of a problem.
@♜ Pinned by Jayz TwoCents Reported
Oh my word 🤣🤣🤣 I would not have thought this could be as entertaining as it was. I can't wait win a pc from you one day. I would have so much fun unpacking it 😂
Thanks so much for this, Jay. Those foam pouches are actually pretty fun, and saved my PC during a long haul across country in a moving truck.
Great that you were able, and took the time to do a video like this one. Nice to go over things that a lot of people take for granted, or don't even think about.
Great vid - love the practical vids like this!
I can't wait to use my muscles to lift this 😎. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
💪🏻
The explanation was TOP NOTCH! I 100% understood how it work!
I remember using your old video on this! I got kicked out of Canada and had to move back to Denmark so I packed it up with those instructions and somehow managed to fit a freaking midtower (corsair 500D) in a luggage case. anyways it perfectly survived the trials and tribulations of airport baggage handlers and their never-ending quest to cause as much damage as possible so yay thanks, cool to see an update on this!
THIS is one of the BEST explanations I've ever heard...:
Jay:"Pop and then pha and ssshhhhh and thrrrrrt and then the thing and down... "
I'm still dying =)
Great Vid! Also Watching Jay's reactions and wording is Hilarious! - I can totally attest to the "SPLOOGE" that the instapak does.. cause i used the methods/ideas from his previous packing video to ship a machine I built for a friend couple years ago.. and the "padding" to then the burst inside is kind of shocking the first time, but then you get the hang of it and learn to MOVE FAST!. You almost need thermal gloves to protect skin cause it does get pretty hot at times. I like Jay got a multi pack of this stuff and still have some left over. Kinda nice to have on hand.
Its become very apparent to me that I don't need to watch several of these types of channels. This is the one. And only. Clear, fair, useful. Thanks
The sound effects are awesome!
I'm so proud of you Jay for turning such a negative situation into a positive.
I absolutely loved using insta-pack. After the first pop do the mixing presses with as much speed as you can. You don't have to wait for the 2nd pop.
Also you can speed up the spread after the 2nd pop to get a more uniform spread
Edit: couldn't you have reused one of the many origin pc shipping crates?
I always learn something new whenever I watch Jay!
Super useful video hope alot of manufacturers and retailers take notes
I paid for expert packing ($20 I think) or whatever it was called when I bought my PC from cyberpower and although there was no damage and I have been very impressed with the PC overall. Their packing job was not even close to being as well packed as Jay did here.
Edit: Pretty sure they only used one for the GPU, Jay uses like 5+!!
If the company charges you for "expert packing" i wouldn't never even contemplate giving them my money.
@@ryskbotvladimirivanovic1767 At the time there wasn't a lot of choices, and it literally would have been $600 more to build that exact same PC. But yes I agree, 99.9% of these pre built companies are garbage.
Great informative video and HIGHLY entertaining! Great job, Jay!
Since I first saw the instapacks in those premade pc's I have always wanted to see them in action and now I have. Thanks Jay
Jay's 100% correct. When it comes to shipping something valuable, you can NEVER be too careful. Most shippers don't give a rat's patoot about your expensive equipment.
Yea it all goes well until it doesn't and they you can get some really bad experiences which you could have avoided if you took more time/care properly packaging. I learned it the hard way and don't cheap out anymore on properly packaging electronics (specially pc related).
Reminds me of when i ordered a corsair power supply from Amazon. UPS was the one who delivered the psu. And you could clearly see a puncture hole in the psu box. Which doesn't make sense considering the psu box is wrapped up in clear plastic wrap. So any UPS worker could tell that it was a computer part. And yet they poorly handled it. Luckily the psu works fine. But yeah shipping companies don't care. One of the reasons why you should always double box any pc or pc component.
That could also happen at Amazon. When I was working there before Christmas I saw people yeeting dozens of PS4s into shipping-container_thingies. But hey why do you know there were PS4s in the package boxes? Well the packaging machine ran out of tape so 10-20% of the boxes weren't even closed properly.
As someone thats planning on moving across country in a month or 2, and have been stressing about how I was going to ship my pc, this video was super helpful. Great stuff!
Pack it in your car and put it horizontal so gravity is your friend. I wrap a weighted blanket around the box tor additional protection. The blanket serves the dual purpose of keeping prying eyes away from it and it keeps it from moving .
If you are shipping then definitely try and keep it protected with some extra packaging, but if you are going to transport it yourself then @Rob S has a some good points.
Also if you have the PC Case box that will be very helpful from protecting the computer from getting dingged by accident while moving stuff around. If you can I would definitely recommend transporting in your care so you can keep a closer eye on it and ensure it stays safe, although there is also the risk of someone seeing the PC in your care while you are sleeping, so I would try and cover it like @Rob S mentions.
I work at a UPS distribution center and I have to say thank you for showing the best way to package not only something really valuable, but anything in general.
Thanks for your efforts and hard work in these times when online orders are on the rise 😎
this is great timing, about to fly halfway across the world for college and i was considering bringing over my pc looking at the gpu market, thanks jay!

I am actually gonna need this when I am building my PC here in Holland, and then ship it to morocco.
I am a former UPS employee and I can say without a doubt, Jay has put forth the best package protection effort I have ever seen. Oh and a warning to anyone reading this, I know you may ship fragile contents and you may be tempted to have a Shock Sensor included on your package. Allow me to let you know first hand that almost any Unloader/Sorter who sees this, will fuck your package up. Not to be malicious, but purely for the "joy" of watching the shock sensor turn red. You've been warned.
How long does the employes of UPS work before they are sacked, in general?
@@Bratfalken I imagine it depends on the employee. I have seen instances where they are handling the package and make it seem like the package "slipped" out of their hand as they handle it. They would primarily use just enough force applied directly to the Shock Sensor to turn it red. And then you had those blatant savages who would smash the packages. The more savage ones were usually very likely caught because management on occasion would randomly walk around and observe people.
Way back when I worked at a freight warehouse, we’d just rip those shock indicators off. A lot of them were so sensitive you could pop it if you set something down too fast with a forklift
i am so proud of you for what you have done and very proud to be subscribed to your channel for a long time you rock man

#1 Tip for packing and reusing a shipping box (along with all the great tips below) = ALWAYS re-tape the BOTTOM of the box as well as the top.
Packages (esp large/heavy ones) tend to get abused on the bottom the most while slid around - So many times I've had things shipped and the bottom nearly busted through.
I bought a playstation once and the seller reused a box, applied like 5 layers of tape on the top but left the original tape on the bottom. I received the box, but not the playstation... The box was super light and at first I thought they just shipped an empty box but then I realized the one flap on bottom was open (could tell it was ripped from going thru sorting machines). Yeah that was a fun claim to explain to ebay.. But I could prove that they used layers of tape on top, but left the original layer on the bottom - so it was poor packing.
#2 Tip when shipping something expensive - always attach a printout of the buyer and sellers address and tape it directly to the item (or put inside) - this way if the package somehow gets torn up in the sorting machines or the shipping label is ripped off - the courier can still figure out where it goes. I usually put an entire copy of the shipping label inside the package, attached to the product.
That is some excellent tips! The second label is an especially good idea for expensive items being shipped.
Thank you for the video. I always wondered. When the instapack takes shape around components and locks itself inside the case. How hard is it to remove it? Do you have to cut it?
It doesn't usually jam itself in too bad, just rock it out of the little cubby it forms around.
@@raze4789 Thank you, I appreciate it.

And of course... Lian Li case with all new components.

As someone that has been involved with designing the foam endcaps for shipping things like this... You don't have to fill the air gap in that interior box, especially if you're planning on putting it inside an outer box. The endcaps act as your absorption, if you overstuff the box and make the absorption effectively stiffer more force is transferred to the product. You are also packing it in such a way that weaker parts of the case, such as the middle of the side panel, will take a load rather than leaving that work to the strongest corners of the case. It will probably be fine, just need to keep in mind that more foam isn't always better. Insta-packing the gpu is on point though
One can never be to sure! Great vid!
I love that case. Best case I've ever had.
Jay, you fill my void. ❤
That is strange, I just saw your old video and loved it. I really like your style. I've started watching because it's long past time I get a new or at least newer rig because my OptiPlex 980 takes hours to process and upload videos.
This is so ridiculous satisfying to watch, that i want to buy some of these on my own to do it just for fun. :D
Nice packing! Back when my brother was drag racing his Volkswagen Beetle, he would order engine components from Gene Berg in the US. They would arrive in large boxes and they'd be packed in un-flavoured popcorn! It was quite tasty too. I was tempted to ask for some flavours! That Instapak looks like good stuff, I may have to invest in some when I move. Ejaculation was the word for part B that sprang to mind!
Also one of the Reasons i build a SFF-PC, I could carry it around in a big Bag XD. The NR200P came with a TG and a Mesh Panel. If i had to move or something, i would pack some styrofoam in it, so parts don't move around and then just pack it in the original packaging it came from. And yes I keep ALL original packaging of my currently used parts...even the 48" TV.
the pop-and-splooge bags will ALWAYS make me laugh, loved the slo-mo of the splooge part
Thanks for the guide, Jayz
I sometimes got request from my friend or coworker to sell their PCs but sometimes the buyer wants to send the PC to them after doing transaction on marketplace. I think this will come in handy in the future.
I used to use instapak in my job for years. It does not like to flow DOWN. We used a machine that we could select the bag size and foam amount and the best way to fill a box with instapak is to make sure the foam filled the bottom edge the laid it into the corner or edge so it could exnd against up/over whatever you had in the box. These kits might act differently but from my experience you got a better pack if you let it expand up and in. And to go over something, you just let the bag fold over the object and the foam will expand into the bag in that direction.
The way you explained the double boxing reminds me of Yzma from emperors new groove. Thanks for showing us how to box a pc properly.
