This has been a common question and is very important when using us for our dc jack repair services. Never put your ac adapter on top of the LCD. This will shatter the LCD.
The best way ship is through Fed Ex. They offer a special laptop shipping that uses foam cutouts to properly fit any size laptop from 12"to 17". The box includes foam cut outs, anti-static bag, slot for ac adapter, and extra foam padding to put where you choose. It's also a nice option because if any damage happens to your laptop you're using their box and insurance and the claim process will go very smooth. These boxes cost $10 and sure beats trying to find a box, packing peanuts, etc.
If you don't have a Fed Ex store available UPS also offers a special laptop shipping box.
If you want to use your own materials than you need to ship it properly.
1. Make sure the box your shipping in is adequate. Those small shipping boxes you get from free from the post office, UPS, and Fed Ex are NOT ok. They don't provide enough room for adequate packing materials and should never be used. Is your laptop worth risking to save $10? I don't think so.
2. Use lots of bubble wrap!! You need atleast two inches of bubble wrap covering the whole laptop. Use packing peanuts or paper for under and above the laptop in the box.
3. Do not using Styrofoam. It's a decent packing material but explodes all over the box during shipment and can expose your laptop to damage.
If you still own the original box the laptop was shipped in that is a good option. Please use common sense and more is better when shipping a laptop.
