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