The estimated weights I have are - 75lbs+ Mobo's; 30lbs+ fingers; 100lbs HD; 75-100lbs CD/DVD; 100lbs junk boards; 30-40lbs of Tele/Printer, etc.; 10lb+ ram; 15lb CPU; + some Misc stuff I haven't packed yet.

Kind of feel like I'm over thinking this...but here are my questions



1. Does a packing slip go in each box?
2. Is 10-15 boxes too many to send?
3. Do I mark each box 1/12, 2/12, 3/12, etc.?
4. Would shipping be less if I consolidated into bigger boxes?
5. Anyone use package filler to prevent boards from moving around/breaking?
6. Brown boards - when are they feasible to ship?
With that much, you might want to look into sending one big gaylord box via LTL. I use freightquote all the time and typically get rates that I'm guessing will be much lower than sending 12 individual boxes.
