When shipping a flat-screen display, Use 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, Mark the box with “This Side Up” and “Fragile – Electronics,” and Avoid exposure to rain or damp areas since the internal circuitry are moisture sensitive.

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