Is it worth shipping TV from USA to India?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions. There are number of factors involved in deciding whether or not to ship the TV to India. Please review below blog to understand what all you should consider when making the decision.
Shipping Cost and Options Available There are 3 options to ship your TV to India. Air, Ocean and check-in as baggage with the airlines. Depending on size of your TV, transit time, custom clearance and safety you can pick one of 3 options.
1 Check-in TV in Flight First you need to contact the airline you are flying with to understand check-in restrictions. Most of the airlines will allow up to 32 inch TV only, if you have a TV bigger than 32 inches they may refuse your check-in or charge an additional fee for oversize baggage. 2 Air Shipping This option may be fastest and easiest but it comes with a higher price tag and other drawbacks. Below are some of the items you need to watch out for when shipping TV to India through air: Custom Clearance – When you are shipping TV under relocation, Indian customs will consider this shipment as “unaccompanied baggage” and major shipping companies like FedEx or UPS will not clear your shipment, which will require you hire a custom broker at your expense to clear your shipment. USPS does not even accept such big packages.
