Default Has anyone paid company to have just electronics packed/shipped?

I will need to move quite a few computers and a couple of televisions from FL to TN and wondering if it is worth it to locate a company (assuming they exist) that has expertise in packing these items for shipping and shipping to TN. I am not moving myself, these are in another home, so my options are to have professionals pack and ship them, or move them by personal vehicle/uhaul. Largest is 42" plasma tv. Anyone have any experience with company that perhaps specializes in packing electronics safely?

Any reputable full service mover, third party appliance service company, or senior move manager located near the origin of the shipment should have packing professionals qualified to pack high value electronics.

Be sure to ask about the issue of liability. You may not be able to file a claim since most moving companies do not accept responsibility for the operation of most electronics unless damage is done to the carton or crate. If you move them yourself, you would accept responsibility for safe handling.

Thanks. I think I may try FedEx or UPS, it looks like they both offer guaranteed packing/shipping option and I think that would probably be my best bet.
