Default Laptop packing materials and shipping box

I plan to sell my current laptop and don't have the original packing materials. Could you please tell me where I can get packing materials and box, preferably online? Thanks.

A lot of places won't sell you packing materials online, because shipping is going to raise the price so much there's not much business to be had- what you can find online are usually bulk packs of packing stuff for wholesalers and businesses, things like 200 feet of bubble wrap or a case of 50 cardboard boxes.

That said, I like http://www.uline.com/
Specifically.... http://www.uline.com/Browse_Listing_...Computer+Boxes

Though the minimum order is 5 of anything. =(

A visit to a shipping store, stationery store or office depot will yield better results. Even post offices have supplies you can buy.

A 17x17x7 or 20x20x8 box should be more than adequate, depending on the size of your laptop.

I used $8 worth of bubble wrap, and my laptop reached its destination in mint condition
