I used to live in Brooklyn and sometimes it's hard to make it to the post office if you're shipping anything substantial. Especially if you don't own a car. I used Shyp to send an iMac when I moved cross-country. It was so much easier than trying to figure out how to pack it myself. They picked it up, boxed/padded it really well (better than I could have done), and shipped it for me. For only $5 it was totally worth it. Wish they had it where I live now.
