How to Pack:
•    Prepare a back-up – first things first, if you have any important (or precious!) data on your iPad or tablet, you should create a back-up and save them elsewhere. This way, if anything does go wrong during the shipment, you won’t lose your files.
•    Use bubble wrap to cover the iPad in several layers, in order to protect both the screen and the case from impacts.
•    Choose the right box – the best way to pack any electronic devices it by using the original box, which should be already tailor-made to your iPad. To increase the security of the package, you can use another box and place everything inside it once again.
•    Don’t forget to fill the box with packing materials – packing peanuts, foam, or even crumpled newspaper should do just fine. Try not to leave empty spaces inside the box and if possible, use additional padding so that the iPad does not move around.
•    Close and seal the box, and then move it gently. Your tablet should stay in one place.
•    Choose a courier company and consider purchasing additional insurance – find a suitable courier to ship your iPad or tablet with. Remember that some booking platforms and courier companies offer a standard insurance coverage, which is already included in the price. For example, Eurosender offers an insurance coverage of up to 200 € per package, and there is additional insurance at reduced rates available.
•    It is very important to print and attach a shipping label to your box.
