How To Safely Move A TV

Most of us own beautiful, expensive, flat screen TVs.

TVs are not just our most used, and favorite electrical appliance in most of our homes, but because of their price, are somewhat of an investment as well, and something we'd be upset to break, and don't want to afford to replace.

So you ask, how do you move your TV safely?

The first question I ask my clients is if they still have the original box. Maybe 2% of us really did safe that ominously huge box in our garage, and those 2% are the ones who are smart! So, if you are just buying a TV, please save the box! Engineers at the manufacturer spent countless hours creating this box especially for your TV, so what better to protect it than the original box?!

Ok, ok, so you didn't save your box (neither did I), so now what? Here are some options:

1.Movers like Fairprice Movers Inc., can wrap your TV in free padded blankets, place in your vehicle, and take back out free of charge, granted the TV fits in your car...

2.Movers can use a TV box to protect your TV with some padding inside, I'd suggest going out to buy one to specially fit your TV, as movers aren't always going to have that size readily available on their truck

3.Movers can "crate" your TV for you, the process does cost money, let's say $30-50/each, they wrap the TV with padded blankets, a layer of bubble wrap, a layer of cardboard, shrink wrap and tape to hold it all together, "crating" it like an egg crate to protect the TV's delicate screen

I hope this was helpful!
