Question 3

What if I want to ship fragile items like LED/Plasma television sets?

Accepted Answer

Yes—but fragile items like LED/Plasma TVs must be crated to qualify for shipping insurance.

📦 Crating fee: approx. $300 USD and above (Crating fees are quoted individually based on your item’s size and fragility)

🚚 Your shipping cost will be based on the total crated weight

🧱 Crating helps protect your fragile item during transit and ensures it qualifies for insurance.

If your item arrives at our U.S. warehouse and is flagged as needing extra protection, you’ll have two options:

Ship it as-is
We’ll send it without crating
Insurance will only cover loss, not damage

Approve crating
Your item will be professionally crated for safety
Insurance will then cover damage as well

The following items are usually fragile and subject to crating

Big/flat screen TVs

Chandeliers

Large porcelain/glass figurines

Mirrors

How much does crating cost?

Crating fees are quoted individually based on your item’s size and fragility

Crating adds weight and volume, which may increase your shipping cost

📦 If crating is required, we’ll contact you with full details before proceeding.

Your shipping rate will be based on the greater of the two actual weight or volumetric weight.
