macha Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Update 70 Inch TV successfully taken to India ..... British airways extra baggage $168 + 14,000 rupees tax thooo successfully reached India... my personal opinion 4k India kii antaa worth kadu emooo India laa max 1080p signals kadaa... 4k resolution not yet in India in most of the cables.... tata sky ki 1080p ki seperate settop box vastadi need to pay extra.. Regarding Converters : okasarii user manual laa chudandiee....

British airways max dimensions for over weight baggage was 75*29*25 but my this was 70* 15* 39 so height was issue BA made an EXCEPTION on weight and height took as extra baggage if they don't take it you can check-in as cargo... na personal experience ... dont send it via one shipping company one of my cousin sent it via FEDEX issue faced 1. customs lo you have to pay full 2.the person who you are shipping to must be visited the country in last 3 months Package: default TV packing kii nenu home depot loo extra air bubble packing wraps tesukunaa... and wrapped solid with out any gap inside the TV box took it to one of the local shipping company they put threads which is used for wrapping big boxes...and then plastic wrap...
