Yes we do require some minor presorting. Large boards can be combined/mixed. Smaller items such as memory, cpus, hard drive boards etc. must be isolated within the box and either placed into their respective bags, rubber banded together or individually boxed.
We are not responsible for any small items that we miss which are mixed with the boards.

Depending on the volume of material, there are several ways to get the material to us. FEDEX, UPS and USPS are ok with us. Just ensure that you have placed your lot ID packing slip with the material so we properly process your material. For larger lots in excess of 600 lbs contact us directly for competitive freight pricing.

Since your material can't be "broken" there is no need to overpack it. Simply place the material in box so it is a snug fit when closed. The more space between the material and the box, the more likely the box will be to rip open in transit. Use plenty of tape and make sure there is minimal space. Newspaper crumpled up is a great filler!

Please, no packing peanuts!
