Shipping TVs safely
Always ship upright. Flat-screen TVs must stand vertically to prevent pressure damage on the panel.
No stacking beyond 3-high for most brands. Check the packaging markings.
Fragile = less efficient. The no-stacking constraint means you lose height space. A 3D calculator accounts for these rules automatically.
