First, you need to contact the airline you are flying with to understand check-in restrictions. Most airlines will allow up to 32 inch TV. If you have a TV bigger than 32 inches, they may refuse your check-in or charge an additional fee for oversized baggage.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This option may be the fastest and easiest but it comes with a higher price tag and other drawbacks. Below are some of the things you need to watch out for when shipping TV to India through air:<\/li>
Customs Clearance\u2013 When you are shipping TV under relocation, Indian customs will consider this shipment as \u201cunaccompanied baggage\u201d and major shipping companies like FedEx or UPS will not clear your shipment, which will require you to hire a customs broker at your expense to clear your shipment. USPS does not accept such big packages.<\/li>
Transit Time\u2013 Even though air shipping has a faster (3-5 days) transit time, due to uncertainty in customs clearance, you may experience delays in your delivery and the entire process turns inconvenient.<\/li>
Insurance\u2013 Due to the high frequency and risk of damages on TVs that are not crated, many shipping companies will not provide insurance, if packed by the owner or manufacturer. If you want your TV to be insured, you will need to get your TV packed by a professional who, not only adds additional packing charges but will add shipping volume as well. As a result, your shipping cost will increase.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
