Take this TV with its perishable technology to the nearest UPS store and have it packed and shipped from there.Postal office How to ship a 26'' Tv perishable Question.?
You do not want to tell them the TV is perishable. Perishable items are things like food or flowers, which will spoil if they are not delivered on time. Instead, you want to tell the post office that the item is fragile. In other words, it is easily broken if it is tossed around too much.



Theoretically, if you mark an item as fragile, they will try to take better care of it during shipping. But you should definitely pay for insurance in case it breaks anyway.



Also, keep in mind that the postal service has limits on the size of packages that can be sent. The maximum is 130 inches combined length and "girth." Length is the longest dimension. For a TV, that's going to be the width of the package rather than it's height. Girth means the distance *around* the package at its thickest part. So it is not just width plus height.

A large TV might be too big to send through parcel post.



If you can't send the TV through the post office, try UPS, which usually has larger limits. You can find a UPS store by putting your Zip code in the space on the Web page below.

As to shipping the TV laying down, I think it depends on the particular TV. If you still have the original box, it will probably say something if there are any limitations on how it is stacked. The box might be labeled somthing like, "This End Only Up." Otherwise, it is mostly a question of how well you have the TV packaged. If it is laying down, at the bottom of a huge pile, with lots of other parcels stacked on top, that has to be bad for the screen, unless there is adequate packing material to protect it.Postal office How to ship a 26'' Tv perishable Question.?
Best advise on this one is to go to the source.

Post Office or UPS and ask them as to how to proceed.

Good Luck
