Shipping Av Equipment from Dallas-Fort Worth to Laredo via Ground Freight

When shipping a TV, pack in an upright TV carton with foam edge and corner protectors, wrap the screen in foam wrap, and brace all voids so the unit cannot move. Ship the TV standing upright, label the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and prevent exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal Electronics are moisture sensitive.
