The moving company is suppose to pack the tvs when they get here.

First, I wonder if they are going to remove the stand, . Second I think they will put bubble wrap directly against the glass.

I am wondering if I should wrap it in a sheet before I apply the bubble wrap. My building does not allow moving blankets (strict rules in NYC to combat spread of bed bugs) but they could wrap it. I think I have the original box but none of the styrofoam. I didnt get the cardboard advice earlier in the thread. Was he saying to put the cardboard flat against the screen and then bubble wrap over it?

Any advice would be appreciated. I value my tvs most of everything else being moved and I pray it goes smoothly

I would absolutely wrap your tvs in sheets first. Considering the time of year (hot) I would not want plastic against any screen allowing it the chance to maybe melt or mark the screen.

Secondly, there is some debate if a flat screen (LCD and plasmas) can be laid flat either on their face or back. Some will say it's perfectly safe and others will say not to. That said, if you have the option of leaving it on the stand I say do so, and specifically request the movers do not remove it from the stand and that the TV remain upright.

Do you have the option of moving them yourself? We hired movers two years ago when we bought our house but I moved the TV myself. It was a b!tch to move but we got it there safe.
