Moving house in the UAE may be difficult, particularly when handling delicate and costly goods like your big-screen TV. Whether moving to a villa in Abu Dhabi or a new flat in Downtown Dubai, good TV packing is crucial to prevent expensive damage. Leading relocation business Movers Crew LLC in Dubai has seen hundreds of moves; we are here to help you pack your TV safely.
Why Should You Handle Moving a TV Extra Carefully?
Modern flat-screen TVs—LED, OLED, or QLED—are thinner and lighter than past versions and more delicate. A little scrape or bump during the relocation could destroy internal components or harm the screen. Ensuring your TV is well-protected comes first throughout any home relocation, considering the heat, dust, and multi-floor buildings in UAE cities.
This book contains expert advice from Dubai movers and packers, especially for the UAE moving experience.
We carry all your items with us if you hire expert movers in Dubai, such as Movers Crew LLC. But should you be packing it yourself, be sure you have the following:
- Original TV box and (if available) foam inserts
- Rich bubble wrap
- Moving furniture pads or blankets.
- Heavy-duty tape for packaging.
- A strong cardboard box (should the original prove elusive).
- Stickers or labels with fragility
- For remote, wires, and screws, zip-lock bags
Guide on Step-by-Step Packaging a Flat Screen TV for a Move
1. Unplug and get ready.
First, turn off and disconnect your TV from the socket. Give it a few minutes to cool off. Then, cut off all the attached connections—HDMI cords, audio cables, power cables, and USBs. Sort all accessories into a zip-lock bag and mark it.
Should your TV be wall-mounted, gently remove it using the appropriate equipment. Someone should help you at this stage.
Pro Tip from Movers Crew LLC: Before dismantling your TV setup, picture the back; this will save time when you rejoin everything at your new location.
2. Polish the screen.
Wipe the frame and screen with a gentle, dry microfiber towel. Avoid using damp towels or cleaning sprays just before packing in Dubai’s humid environment. A clean TV prevents catching dust or trash that can scratch you and is easier to wrap.
3. Use the Original Box—should you still have one?
Now’s the time to utilize your TV’s protective foam inserts and original packaging. Slide the TV back into the foam housing and firmly box it. Mark it as “FRAGILE—TV,” and tape the edges.
If not, relax; like us, movers and packers in Dubai are completely furnished with custom-fit TV boxes and cushioning options.
4. Does no original box exist? There is no problem.
Here’s how to bundle your flat screen without the original packaging:
A. Roll the screen.
Lay the TV face down on a spotless, level surface covered with a nice blanket. After bubble-wrapping the screen, cover it with foam cushioning or a moving blanket. Use self storage packing tape to secure it; never lay tape exactly on the screen or frame.
B. Guard the Cornerstones
The TV’s corners are most susceptible to damage during transfers, particularly when negotiating narrow elevators or stairs in UAE residential complexes. For padding, fold additional bubble wrap or corner protectors into the corners.
C. Box It Safely
Stow the wrapped TV in a sturdy, larger box. To stop movement within the box, surround the edges with extra padding—blankets or crumpled paper. Mark all sides as “Fragile—This Side Up,” then tightly tape the box.
Vertical Transport Only Advice for Moving Day (UAE-Specific)
Never put a flat-screen TV flat inside a moving vehicle; it runs the risk of screen damage. Move it always straight forward. TVs are securely vertically strapped at Movers Crew LLC to protect them during shipment.
Steer clear of really hot conditions.
The high heat in Dubai might damage certain electrical equipment. If you are relocating in the summer, keep the TV out of direct sunlight and refrain from leaving it in the vehicle for too long.
Safe TV for Hallways and Elevator
High-rise living is everyday, every day in the UAE. If your building requires transfer using service elevators, make sure the TV is straight and supported during travel. We designate a skilled team member to handle fragile objects in confined areas.
Disassembling and Reinstallation
Upon reaching your new house:
- Carefully unbox the TV and look for damage.
- Before plugging in, let it get to room temperature
- Referring to your previous picture, reconnect all the wires.
- Verify the wall bracket alignment and security if you attach it again.
