Got a Sony Pvm from eBay, and it came damaged! First and last time I try that! Contacted you about it! It’s salvageable! Hoping you have some time to give it a look!

I had an Ikegami monitor shipped to me ~8 years ago. I forget if it were through USPS, UPS, or FedEx, but it was double boxed with lots of packing peanuts used throughout, and arrived with zero damage.

I need to work on my packing skills more Steve. After this video, I'm motivated to do so. 8^)

That's how I got my most recent units was through UShip great results both times with the shippers themselves. The 2530 you capped and the newer one as well. I learned the hardest lesson receiving my first Sharp NES tv as a box of crumbles from FedEx. After that I always pay the premium to someone to lay hands on it and personally get it where it needs to be.

how much are you spending shipping with Uship? all the quotes I get are over $600 dollars

I wonder how this would work with arcade monitors

The bigger and heavier a package is, the more UPS, Fedex, and USPS employees will abuse it, in an attempt to dissuade people from shipping large heavy items.

Hi great video as aways, I already asked here quite a while ago but now I have an update kinda, I have a sony wega and the image gets kinda of redish when the image is too bright with white, but when the screen have just a small square of white (like that one in the 240p test suite) it looks normal, I asked about this problem in a crt repair channel and he told me to change the tube, but the image isn't blurry and I think if it was the tube the image would be redish all the time (at least thats my retional process) is it really the tube? is it a problem you've already met before?
please I don't really wanna change this tube

Crating is good but peanuts do nothing for heavy items. The only way to do this is foam blocks, either styrofoam or some other kind of foam, the best is to do actual foam in place.

help me！sony bvm 14f5e no display Screen Menu。everything else is fine！It's a whole new one。thank you very much！！！

They use loose peanuts lol. That's enough for me to never even consider using them. Those are hell to deal with, and ineffective compared to other options, and also dangerous since small bits can break off and go inside electronics. They could at least used bagged peanuts to save you the headache. But there's foam blocks/cutouts which an actually professional packing service would use. It's more expensive, but it can be less since it only needs to be used for all 8 corners not the entire empty area. Anyway, styrofoam peanuts need to die.

Yes, Finally! Always use Uship. Hopefully now you will stop making videos about how you shipped these rare crts from ebay and got them destroyed. Only use the name your price. Don't accept any shipping companies that require you crate it. Always go with the little guy willing to just stick it in the back seat of his truck. I've had my crts shipped by an older couple vacationing, a woman traveling home from college, a guy who ships arcades, etc. Every single one of them I've talked to the driver before accepting their bid to make sure it was going to be in the back seat of their truck and never going to move. And I never boxed them.

Wrap the item in a plastic bag to keep styrofoam out.

Find some spare parts to put that monitor back together.
