I just get upset from seeing so many perfectly good TV sets destroyed due to bad packing, and I don't want to see it again!

I've only had one set shipped by a moving company, but I was quite happy with them. Vintage Transport didn't box it, but they wrapped it in a quilt and secured it. They were quite careful as they unloaded the console.
When you put something in a box for UPS or FedEX they don't know how delicate it is.
