Responsible preparation can save you money and improve the safety and handling of your shipments. Follow this guide for shipping flat panel screens and monitors.

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 Office 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 Office 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 backed by the FedEx Office Packing Pledge. We’ll take it from there.

Using the H taping method, apply pressure-sensitive adhesive plastic tape to both the top and bottom of the carton to protect the package and its contents. Tape all seams or flaps.
