How to Send a TV Monitor Overseas

When moving or sending electronics overseas, be prepared to pay higher shipping costs and to fill out custom forms. Due to the fragile nature of TV screens, use layers of packing materials to cushion and protect the TV during transit. It's also best to use an established service that provides both tracking and insurance.

      Package your TV. Use the original packaging when possible. Wrap the TV in two layers of bubble wrap and secure with tape. Take special care around fragile areas like the screen. Place the bubble-wrapped TV into a box and fill with packing materials such as newspaper and styrofoam pieces, ensuring that the TV is tightly contained and that the box is full. Seal the box securely.
