How to ship a large TV having no box or original packing supplies? I have quite a problem. I need to ship my 42" Samsung DLP TV (45" x 30" x 10") from the Bay Area to Los Angeles (that's about 500 miles). I'm ready to pay the shipping costs (+ insurance), but the TV's box and original packing supplies have disintegrated in the rain! What can I do to get this shipped? Is there some kind of service where someone could fashion the packing supplies to the TV? I heard that this can be done for trade shows / businesses, but I don't know any details. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I am flying from the US to the UK to visit friends. I will be packing my PC Tower. Can I do that? I plan on packing my PC Tower in my suitcase with my luggage. Also my camera and other things. Now I know people get crazy about this stuff. Is this going to be a problem? Are there any other computer related stuff that may be a good idea to know what may be a problem? I also plan on disconnecting my HD and taking with me in carryon luggage. I don't want anything to happen to it. Will that also be a problem? I am not taking my monitor with me. Items I am packing together will be... 1) PC Tower 2) Keyboard 3) Mouse 4) Webcam 5) Computer Speakers 6) Computer Microphone Also, don't give me the lecture on different voltage requirements in the UK. I am already aware. I know I need to purchase a seperate power cord for the PC in order for it to work & I need to set the voltage setting in the back of the power supply. I DO have a voltage converter for the speakers & my friend has a monitor where I am going. My Video Card supports other monitors at different rates.

What, no laptop too? $125 Canadian! Mommy of Marc, I truly respect the teachers and all that they do, I volunteer in the school and are aware of the issues that the teachers have with a school board's budget. However, how many tools are needed to colour? Neon crayons??? While I can afford these items, I wonder how the families with limited income feel when faced with all this excess! It's setting some kids up to be without, while others scrounge the stores measuring tubs with a tape measure! *Smooch to Vegas!*
Is my Power Supply Interferring with my Modem? I have a Dell Laptop and recently whenever I have the power cord hooked up I can not dial up to the internet. It makes a noise on the line and will not connect. If I unhook the power cord my laptop dials right up. We replaced the modem and it still does the same thing. We ordered two power packs and still the same result. It will work fine at my sister's house with the power supply hooked up but not here. We've had this computer for two years and didn't have any trouble with it until our old power supply quit working and we had to order a new one.

(It won't leave the USA.) Thanks for any advice, as I'm pretty concerned about my masterpiece!

How long does it take to dry out your milk supply? I gave birth on the 17th and 2 days later my breast became engorged. Im not breast feeding and waiting for them to dry up. How long does this usually take? With my last pregnancy I only remember having painful huge boobs for a few days but it doesnt seem to be going down.

Is Nintendo creating a false sense of demand by controlling the Supply of Wii Console gaming systems? I would like to see why a console system costing around $275 at your local Wall-Mart, Target, K-Mart is so hard to find in highly populated suburban markets? This hard to find system in dense populated markets is driving people to use E-bay and other outlets to purchase consolidated system packs where-by sales are forcing the purchase of unwanted games to guarantee a specific level of profit for game manufactures. What is going on and why?
Did I go overboard on packing for college? I'm leaving for college tomorrow and I have filled up two cars with moving boxes. I basically brought my entire wardrobe and shoes, which is what I'm starting to reconsider now :/ I think the reason I have so much stuff is that I already bought all of the cleaning supplies, snacks, school supplies, etc beforehand. If I didn't buy all of that, then I'm sure I wouldn't have as many boxes. Anyways, I just need some reassurance/criticism to help me out. Thanks!
Dell laptop monitor flickering when it switches between battery power and mains supply. Why? I just got a new battery for my Dell 9300 laptop because the old one was dead. But I now quite often have the laptop continuously switching between the two power sources - as indicated by the power icon - and this makes the screen flicker. Could this be the new battery? Could the power pack be faulty? Why does it keep switching between the two power sources even when the battery is at least 30% charged?

How easy is it to replace a power supply unit on a PC? The PSU fan on my computer has packed in and I have to thump it every so often to make it work, how easy is it to replace ? I have a gigabyte motherboard with athlon 1800 Cleaned the fan out but I think the motor is loose inside. There is no hope for the poor thing :-( Thanks for the all the answers, I will leave it up to the public to vote which is the best answer, but I am guessing its fairly easy- thought there might be some occult knowledge required.

How much is this plate worth? I have a German Nazi plate that was given to me by my father. He received this from a man who was a Nazi, and served in the German army during World War II. This plate was given out to all the soldiers in a type of supply pack, I'm assuming. The plate is white, and on the bottom there is a small swastika in the middle, with German words around it. I'm not looking to sell this item, but I am curious, and would like to know approximately how much the plate is worth.
Can you recommend a packing box supplier? I'm moving home soon and the last time i moved i bought a moving "package" that included boxes and tape and some bubble wrap and thing and they were rubbish. The boxes were thin and por quality and the tape wasn't adhesive at all... I've been looking at various suppliers and they all look the same! Can you recommend a company that supplies purpose built boxes and packages that won't cost a fortune? Thanks

Has your child's school ever used a pre-packed school supply company? Some schools don't like this, but others make the option available to parents to order the school supplies from a pre-packaged school supply company, and the supplies arrive in a box, either at the school, or at the child's home. Has your child's school ever done this? If so, what are your opinions on the system? (Please list the name of the school supply company, if you can remember!) Haha, the cost of the kits is actually lower than what you'd pay at walmart or target WITH coupons. Filler paper/notebook paper runs at...$0.39/pack of 120 sheets, through some pre-packed school supply companies. I know of a few companies...I know Staples SchoolKidz company (but it's not the 'toolbox'..that's a separate company), they're very highly-rated, then there's EPI, and school toolbox, but I don't know much about those.
when does shool open exact date and time and when do we get our school supply list? im not tryin to wait and then come to staples then find out that its over packed and if you know what are needed in the 7th grade please fill free to add more information and if you do thankyou for all your help maybe it can be helpful in da future and please fill free to add sources that can help me cause then that can really help! by the way thankyou for your generous help!
How to send supplies for orphans in Russia? Privet! I have some things that I would like to send to a Russian orphanage (or maybe several orphanages). It's basic things like clothing, first aid packs, school supplies, etc... Can anyone tell me what would be the best way to ship these things without them getting stolen or something like that?
