: Use at least 2 inches of polyethylene or molded polystyrene foam on all sides to absorb shocks. 4. Risk Assessment: Is It Worth It?

: Smart TV platforms often have region-locked apps. A TV bought in one region may not support local streaming services or broadcast standards in another.

: Large electronics ordered through standard couriers are often considered a "gamble" due to the high risk of damage during the many hand-offs in international transit.

: TVs must stay upright at all times. They are not designed to be laid flat, as the pressure can crack the LCD or LED display.

Standard cardboard boxes are rarely enough for the rigors of international freight.

: Expect to pay significantly more for international transit. For example, shipping a 32" TV internationally can cost upwards of $175 via FedEx.
