Transport 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 circuitry are moisture sensitive.

Confirm your carrier’s standard liability limits, list accurate values and serial numbers, and retain packing photos and invoices so any claim for damaged AV equipment can be processed efficiently.
