What we pack
- Flat screen TVs
We wrap the screen in foam and box it upright. No pressure touches the glass.
- Large screens
We build a wood case cut to fit when a screen is too big or too valuable for a box.
- Media gear
We pack the components that go with the TV and keep them together.
- Computers
We pack computers in clearly marked boxes and set each item where you want it at the new home.
- Original boxes
If you kept the TV's original box and foam, we use them. They are the best way to move it.
- Setup at destination
We unbox each screen and set it back up with the same care used to pack it.
Why does a flat screen need specialist packing?
Moving and relocation companies book TV and electronics packing for the families they move. Families can request a quote directly. A flat screen should travel upright, never lying down. Nothing should press on the screen.
Every technician we send is insured and has passed a background check. When a screen is large or valuable, we build a wood case cut to fit it. We crate art and mirrors the same way. Cardboard flexes under a load. A wood crate doesn't.
An estimate is free. Most estimates come back in minutes. Larger or unusual jobs can take up to one business day. Price depends on the pieces, the services and the distance. Every order gets one named coordinator. Order status and arrival times are online in the customer portal.

About TV packing
How should a flat screen TV travel?
Upright, never lying down. Nothing should press on the screen. The original box and foam are the best way to move it.
What if I no longer have the original box?
We wrap the screen in foam and box it upright for the truck. A large or valuable screen can go in a wood case built to fit.
