[Music]

television so let’s talk about moving

your TV we’ve got very specific steps

how we do it and I’m going to show you

how it’s done first thing we do is we

remove the cord if it has a removable

base which they all do we take the base

off we take the four screws out of the

back what that allows us to do is take

the television itself off of the

base what we’ll do

then is we’ll take the base and we’ll

put it in another box on the inventory

Tor list it will show that the base of

the TV is in box number 27 or whatever

it might be then what we do is we want

to wrap the TV up so it’s nice and safe

so we’ll take we’ll turn the TV

over we’ll get rid of all the stuff that

goes in the other

box and we’ll wrap the TV up in brown

paper this is

a PS made specific to protect artwork

television mirrors or anything like that

and we use it to protect your

TVs so we Fold It

Up fold the top

over fold the back over

and we’ll secure it with a little bit of

tape what we will

use to pack the box into is what is

called a mirror pack these are four

piece sheets that form boxes and what we

do is we put cushion in the bottom of

the box to

provide some stability and some cushion

uh so that it is not bounced

around and then we will put the

television or the mirror or your piece

of

artwork right into the

box so then what we do is take a little

bit more

paper and form a cushion

on the

top which provides more

protection we’ll take two more pieces of

mirror pack we’ll slide them on

top slide them

down push everything together and then

we’ll tape up all of the seams so this

becomes a TV that is completely covered

completely protected and we’ll get to

destination with no problems what
