As for the PC itself, I’d suggest packing everything securely in plenty of bubble wrap and finding a sturdy box before shipping it out.
I spent some time digging into this, and honestly, I haven't found anyone really recommending the big courier services.
From what I've gathered, they don't always handle packages with the level of care you'd hope for, and trying to navigate the insurance claims if something actually breaks is just a massive headache.

Exactly what I mentioned above—plus, their rates get pretty steep once you start dealing with larger, heavier boxes.
Hey everyone,
Since I recently moved over to France, I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out the safest way to transport my PC without it ending up in pieces. I was actually thinking that it might be much easier to just sell everything here and pick up some fresh gear locally, especially since prices seem quite reasonable lately!
I’d definitely want to hang onto certain things—mostly my peripherals and my SSDs—but pretty much everything else could go.
If you don't mind, I would love to get a quick baseline estimate on what this setup is worth:
Cooler Master CM 692 Standard Case
650W Corsair TX V2 series PSU
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P, iZ68 motherboard
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz processor
Scythe Katana III cooler
8 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws X series PC-12800 memory
XFX AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card, 1GB DDR5,
23'' LG E2351VR-BN LED monitor, 5ms, 250cd/m2, 5,000,000:1, D-SUB, DVI, HDMI
23'' DELL U2312HM LED monitor, 8ms, 300cd/m2, 2,000,000:1, IPS, D-SUB, DVI, DP, USB Hub, pivot
Logitech Z506 5.1 speakers,
LG GH22NS DVD burner, DVD±RW, 22x DVD±R, 8x DL, 40x CD-R
Does anyone have any bright ideas on the best way to sell all this off?
