I am shipping some desktop computers, and the boxes that come with the cases I order just aren't cutting it.

Anyone know where I could find some boxes/shipping material, preferably that are specifically made for desktop systems?

I'd love to be able to get something similar to what dell ships their desktops in, large box with foam material that fits around the case.

Check with FedEx. I know they have some special boxes for laptops but I am not sure about desktops.

You do know that you don't have to use packing material that's specifically for computers right? I usually use just about anything that will cushion the desktop so it won't move around in the box during shipment.

Yeah, but I'd like to find something more suitable, as I may be doing this often.

the physical ups store would probably have something to suit your needs for shipping...

FedEx has boxes for laptops, in fact they will only ship a laptop in their box (except if you have the retail box). But they do not have a box made specifically for desktops.
