OP if you ship anything in the real world don't ever expect you'll get paid off for an damage claim. Ship it as if it's fragile and wouldn't be paid off.

So if you ship an TV, use pallet corners around all the edges and pray that UA doesn't drop the TV from 20 feet in the air. Even computers packaged via military cases get damaged. It's amazing, not sure how but there's too many possibility's.

Knowing prices in Asia, it doesn't sound like your attempt is worth it. If you were pulling an 65" LG 4K TV that was going for $600 the other day back to asia, than that's considerable. Anything else is an wash.
