Best way to move a Sony TV from CA to TX


I am planning a move from Northern California to the Dallas area (yes I like heat and humidity) and would like to find a mover for my 238 pound Sony CRT television - KV36XBR400. I have had sufficient experience with household movers to know that if there is a way to break something they will find it, and the more I request that they be careful with an item the more careless they become.

I have searched through the archives because I have a vague recollection of having seen this question before, but could not find anything.

Thanks.

Build multiple layers (taped together to make a rigid face plate) of flat cardboard slightly larger than the dimensions of the screen and cover the screen.
.
3 layers of large bubble bubble wrap around the whole set (over the cardboard face plate) including the underside to absorb any shock if they drop it.
.
Crate the bubble wrapped piece above (fill any open spaces with bubble wrap crammed in so the TV won’t move.

Get a small skid (pallet) and nail and brace the crate on the skid.

Have Bax Global pick it up and deliver it to your new house (fully insure for the cost of a new TV, freight and your materials for crating). Find your invoice for your TV to be on the safe side in case they lose it (they won't break it).
