Are my PC parts going to break????

My brother is visitng from NY and he will fly 16 HOURS away ( With 2 stops) All the way here in UAE. He is putting all my PC parts and my brothers (un opened, brand new parts) In one suite case ( the PC CASES he is going to ship) But will the parts that are all in their original boxes going to break or mess up? what are the chances? It is not a carry on bag.

Thanks

As long as you pad the suitcases on the inside with stuff like towels or similar so that the components don't have space to move around and bang into eachother, the unopened boxed should let your components go through pretty much unharmed.

Maybe packing foam would be nice? As long as the case came in quality foam you should be fine. Also padding the inner components so that they don't jostle around a bunch will help a lot. Make sure nothing is too stiff, but not too firm either.
 


My brother knows a lot about computers so im sure he wont pack them badly but he said "managed to fit" so maybe there is no room for towels and stuff? Plus, He's not going to bring towels, and he also said for his clothes hes getting a small bag so i think the parts are in there alone...well these are the parts so maybe there will not be any room for them to move

I work for a company that helps our members with a ton of things, but one of those things is shipping products. Computer parts are delicate and do not ship well at all. If you have the option, I would highly recommend a courier service, such as, DirectRush.com to assist you in shipping.
 


sorry but my brother wont do that....no way. No time left :/
