Separate screens by model, protect each one with anti-static bubble wrap or foam, stack them flat in rigid trays without pressure, fill empty space so nothing moves, include a packing list, and use the prepaid label from the buyback program, such as the free label from the Parts4Cells buyback page.
What materials do you need?
- Anti-static bubble wrap or foam sleeves
- Plastic trays or cardboard dividers
- A sturdy double-wall box
- Filler such as foam or crumpled paper
- Labels or a label printer for model tags
How do you pack screens step by step?
- Wrap each screen individually. Do not let two screens touch.
- Protect flex cables by folding them gently along their natural bend and taping them to the wrap, never creasing them.
- Stack flat, with a divider between layers. Avoid tall stacks, since weight causes pressure marks.
- Label each bag or tray with the model and quantity.
- Fill every gap so the contents cannot shift when the box is shaken.
- Put the packing list on top, inside the box.
- Seal the box and attach the prepaid label.
What are the most common packing mistakes?
| Mistake | What happens |
|---|---|
| No packing list | Slower processing and harder reconciliation |
| Missing contact or payment details | Payment is delayed |
| Weak packaging | Transit damage lowers grades |
| Overestimating grades | Disappointment when the report comes back |
| Batteries in the box | A safety hazard, and a shipping-rule problem |
These mistakes are also listed in the Parts4Cells program article.
After you ship
Keep the tracking number and a copy of the packing list. When the grading report arrives, compare it with your pre-grades line by line. Differences point to packing or grading habits you can fix before the next shipment. Questions about a report can go to the buyer's support team. Parts4Cells lists support by phone, chat and email.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ship screens in a padded envelope?
Not recommended. Envelopes bend, and bending creates pressure damage. Use a rigid box.
Should I remove the frame from Samsung screens?
No. Send screens as removed, and let the buyer grade them as they are.
