Do I need anti-static bagging for shipping a laptop?

And, since I suspect so, where's a good place to get it? Would Fedex have it?

Dell ships them to us in anti static plastic bags so I would think yes. As to where to get it - I honestly don't know any business who would have one that size aside from a PC repair shop which may have some laying around. See what other peeps have to say also they may have a better idea on where to get one.

It should survive shipping without one just fine.

Use your eyes man, if you had looked down the list of topics, or used the search feature, you would have found this thread:

No, you don't need an anti static bag to ship a laptop. There are no exposed electronics that could be damaged, really. My laptop came in what looked like a perfectly ordinary, fully transparent plastic bag.
