Yes, being a TV guy as well as radio, I have long read of shipping nightmares among that crowd of us. Because of reading the stories, I have thus far never bought a TV that had to be shipped; nor have I sold one. It can be done, but I believe it's along the lines of having it professionally packed and/or placed on a train or bus even. I know the bus sounds far fetched, but I have read of it being done somehow.

Then there are truckers who are known by certain folks that offer possibilities, but as for the standard UPS or USPS pack and pray, I'm just not risking getting or giving a box of glass that just can't be replaced. As I said earlier, to me it's not all about the money. It's mostly about the item and it's preservation.
