I have been living in China for five years and in that five years I have acquired MANY stuff cuz of the massive price difference between China and Europe. I have two 28 inch Full HD (1920x1200) TFT LCD monitors, brand and model is: Hannsg HZ281 which I would like to transport to Europe with air cargo. I only have the original packageing for one which is new but for the other I have no packageing. The original packageing onthe new one is very sturdy btw, on the outside there is a hard cardboard box and the screen is fixed in the middle with this white foamy and hard thing (sorry I dont know the name in english) but I think polyurethane or something like that my main concern is that I dont think the cargo area will be heated cuz there will be no passangers there so temps will get below freezing I assume. Is that harmful to my screens? Any advice to how to wrap or package the new one better if needed? Any advice on how to package the old one for which I have not the original box? Thank you.
I don't think it'll be a problem. Monitors are shipped all over the world in air cargo all the time. I've even had LCD monitors left in my car overnight with temps down to -17 degrees Fahrenheit where I live, so I think you're fairly safe about the temps. As for packaging, the original packaging for the one should be good enough, for the other make sure that there's plenty of cushioned padding around it and a few inches between it and the box sides to keep it safe. Double boxing it (box within another padded box) will provide the safest packaging.
