I need to ship a plasma screen tv soon, but a buddy is telling me that you can't lay them down horizontally or it will ruin it. I can't find anything online confirming or dispelling this so far... any TV gurus on here know if it's ok for me to ship/store it lying down? Due to it's size, it will be easier for me to build the crate for it lying down .



thanks....

 

sounds like crap, Im sure those things are not always shipped vertical.

Plus you can mount them on a ceiling which is horozontal.

 

call a store that sells plasma TV's, and then ask them how they are shipped. then copy whatever they do?

 

pretty much what i was thinking too... just wanting a second opinion.



thanks guys.

 

Ummm. I'd insure that sucker for the full replacement value. The odds of it getting to where its going in working condition are literally a million to one.

 

i dunno, i've dealt with boxes for a long time, sometimes the arrow points down..... usually its not a big deal

 

damn, plasma tvs are fragile as it is, you wanna ship it?



rule one: dont use fedex.



kevin.

 

 

If u ship it from there how many miles does it go on the back fo a camel? I'm thinking 1 inch of foam for every 10 miles of travel on camel.
