PACKING TV'S

Packing TVs larger than 30"

You'll need:

Tape Original packing boxes and foam forms
-or-
Large new box and foam forms
How to pack:

Unplug your big screen TV. Be sure to leave the cable and cable box behind, since those belong to the cable company.
Lay it gently on its side and slide the foam forms on either end. Then slide it into the box, set it upright, seal it, and mark it "Awesome Big-Screen TV."
If you don't have the original box, you will still need more than plastic peanuts. Companies that sell packing materials probably have dense Styrofoam blocks you can use. Gently lay the TV on its side on top of a piece of foam. Tape another piece of foam on the bottom and slide the whole thing into the box. Fill in all sides with foam, then seal and mark "Awesome Big-Screen TV."
Packing TVs less than 30"

You'll need:

Tape Original packing boxes and foam forms
-or-
Large new box and foam forms

How to pack:

Make sure the TV is cooled off and you've left the cable and cable box for the cable company (they own those).
Do the same for the VCR. Check your manual to make sure there are no special moving preparations you need to make to stabilize internal components.
Wrap up the cord for the TV and VCR and put in the original boxes. Or use foam forms you purchase or peanuts. (Wrap your TV and VCR in a plastic bag before immersing in peanuts so the peanuts don't get inside the machines). Put the TV and VCR in separate boxes.
Seal and mark the boxes "Fragile - TV/VCR." Now you're done!
