When shipping a television, choose 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. 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 components are moisture sensitive.

On pallets of TVs, use stretch film and, where possible, Add pallet covers to shield against condensation or light rain during handling.

Verify your carrier’s standard liability limits, Declare accurate values and serial numbers, and retain packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged Gadgets can be processed efficiently.
