Steps for how to ship screens and monitors.
When shipping screens or other fragile or unique items, we can handle all the packing for you to ensure protection and peace of mind. Follow these steps to get your shipment ready to take to a FedEx location.
1. Remove peripherals
When shipping screens remove stands, mounts or any other peripherals. This will allow the screen to fit into the box without any sharp or uneven edges. If you wish to ship a TV/monitor stand, power cord, remote, etc., break down the pieces as much as possible. These will be shipped in the box with the TV/monitor if there is room. Additional boxes may be needed for these items.
2. Pack and ship at a FedEx location
Create a shipment at your local FedEx Office with your shipping information and a payment method. Pricing includes the right FedEx box solution, cushioning materials, and expert packing service.
