Screens and computers are the most nerve racking things most people send, because the failure mode is invisible: a panel can crack internally with no mark on the outside, and a hard drive can die without a scratch on the case. All of it is preventable with three habits: back up first, keep screens upright, and pack so nothing touches the panel. Here is the full method.
Back up before you wrap
Do this days before the move, not the night before. Copy anything that matters to two places: a cloud service and an external drive. The external drive then travels with you personally, not in the van, because it is now the most valuable object you own per gram. Photograph the back of each device before unplugging so the cable spaghetti takes thirty seconds to rebuild instead of an evening.
The original box is the gold standard
If you kept the box your TV or monitor came in, with its polystyrene end caps, use it. Those formers were engineered to hold that exact screen clear of every box wall, and nothing you improvise will beat them. This is also the argument for flattening and keeping the box when you buy your next screen, because a loft or an under bed gap will store it for years.
No original box: build one
Adjustable flat screen TV boxes are sold online and by most self storage shops, and they are worth buying for anything over about 32 inches. Failing that, use a large double wall box or sandwich two flattened boxes around the screen.
The method is the same either way. Slip the screen into a soft sleeve first, a clean duvet cover or fleece blanket works well. Add foam or cardboard corner protectors, because corners take the knocks. Place a full sheet of rigid cardboard over the panel face so nothing can press on it. Pad the box so the screen cannot shift, apply the shake test, and seal it. Remotes, cables and wall bracket bolts go in one labelled zip bag taped to the outside back of the box, never loose inside against the screen.
Upright, always upright
This is the rule people most often get wrong. A flat panel is designed to be supported by its frame while standing, the way it lives in your home. Lay it flat and the unsupported middle of the panel flexes with every bump in the road, and hours of that flexing is how screens arrive cracked inside a pristine box. So TVs and monitors travel standing up, in their normal orientation, with nothing stacked on top and nothing leaning on the face. Mark the box THIS WAY UP on all four sides and draw arrows.
Monitors and all in ones
Remove the stand, bag its screws, and tape the bag to the back of the stand itself. Wrap screen and stand separately, then box them together with the screen vertical and padding between the two. If you are moving a pair of monitors, wrap each fully before they share a box, and put a layer of crumpled paper between them.
Desktop PCs
Shut down fully rather than sleeping, so a mechanical hard drive parks its heads. If the machine has a large modern graphics card and you are comfortable opening the case, take the card out and box it separately in its own padding or an anti static bag, because heavy cards can work loose or stress the slot under vibration. If you would rather not open the case, fill the empty internal space question with care at the packing stage instead: keep the tower upright, pad it heavily inside a double wall box, and treat it as fragile.
Either way, the tower travels upright, labelled this way up, with the box packed to the void rule so the machine cannot shift.
Laptops and tablets
These do not go in the van at all. A laptop rides in your own bag, padded, like it would on any train journey. It weighs little, it holds your life, and the van gains you nothing.
Kerbside or Assisted
A boxed monitor or desktop under 30 kg is a standard piece and prices like one, at £15 each within pieces five to ten of your booking or £12 beyond ten, on a Kerbside collection from £199. A large television is a different animal. Once the boxed screen is too big or heavy for one person to carry safely, book it as a furniture item at £45, which puts it on the Assisted tier from £349 with a two person crew carrying it at both ends. Two sets of hands on a big screen is not a luxury, it is the whole trick.
At the other end
One last habit worth keeping. If the delivery arrives on a cold day, let the screen or computer sit unpacked indoors for a few hours before powering on, because a cold device brought into a warm room can form condensation inside. Reassemble from your photos, plug in, and check the screen with a plain white image where cracks and pressure marks show instantly. Done in that order, the most fragile things you own are also the most predictable to move.
