Shipping an 80" Flat screen HDTV from Arizona to Florida is no easy task, but if you build a custom crate with ample foam protection the TV will arrive in perfect shape, like our February shipment of the month did.
A combination of materials was used to pack and ship this large fragile and valuable piece of electronics. This particular TV we decided to wrap in a moving blanket. The moving blanket surrounds the TV and is shrink wrapped.
We then wrapped the blanket in 1" bubble wrap. The top, side and bottom of the crate is lined with a 2" Polyethylene foam to provide high shock absorption for the TV.
The front and back are covered by a 1" Polystyrene foam to provide a tight fit in the crate to prevent any movement.
The shipping of this A Frame crate was via a carrier who provides Air Ride Trailer equipment. Be very careful when shipping valuable electronics and fragile items via a regular LTL carrier. Regular trailers are not equipped with shocks so any big bump can cause your equipment to be damaged.
Gateway Crate and Freight provides the optimum combination of packing and transportation for any item you ship. In this instance we had a very economical rate with an Air Ride carrier that provided extra protection while traveling across country.
We are quite proud of our packaging and think that we provided enough packaging with a standard LTL carrier but shipping Air Ride gave us one more layer of protection and confidence in shipping this item to its owner.
