We were recently in Egypt on vacation, we went to the Senzo Mall supermarket and we really liked the prices for TVs
Tell me who knows how realistic it is to bring TV from Egypt? What is needed for this? Is it carried in hand luggage? Missed at the airport?

They will not let you in hand luggage. Whether to check in baggage is up to you.
In order to smuggle, you need a check.

Thank you!
It's scary to check it in luggage (

In principle, I understand that a hookah is not a TV, but my friends bought a hookah at the Old Market, they packed it right at the bazaar - and nothing broke.
In general, for the first time I hear that a TV was brought from Egypt. What a strange idea...

If the TV is compact and fits into the requirements for the size of hand luggage, then you can take it into the cabin. They take laptops.
But I join mindguru, bringing a TV set from Egypt is very original. Check the model you like in online stores, it may be more convenient to buy it on the Internet, and they will also deliver it to your home.

I remembered the old TV series Alf, when the TV set broke at the Taners, they had to be sent to the country of the manufacturer under warranty, and it cost more than the TV set itself. It makes sense to buy equipment in other countries, except if the purchase is really cheap (2-3 times less at home) does not make sense. IMHO.

For TVs - to Japan! There are really pennies. And second-hand and generally for nothing.

If the TV is large, it can be packaged in an appropriate way, for example, using bubble wrap, pieces of foam or plywood, which are placed inside the box between the walls. This allows you to protect the screen from shock.
On the box at the airport stick a sticker "fragile cargo".
A special compartment is reserved for fragile cargo in the luggage compartment of the aircraft. At the destination, such baggage is not put on the belt, but is lifted separately.
But you need to check with the airline you are flying on how to do this correctly. You will most likely have to pay a little more.
If the TV is small, then calmly take it in your hand luggage. Although I agree with the previous members of the forum: you need to think very carefully whether the game is worth the candle.

From the Emirates, everyone massively carried TVs in hand luggage, but that was in 2012, the rules are changing, especially this year.
Hookahs were brought from Egypt, they were not specially packed, they were carefully taken away and asked to be marked with something so that they would not be confused with others. In Ukraine, they were allowed on a common tape, but everything was intact

Thanks to all!
I think my benefit would be 500-700 hryvnia, i.e. not worth the trouble.
But first you need to ask a question, and then look in online stores.)))
And yet, either we have new inexpensive TVs, or over the past 5 years I began to live better, before the new TV seemed to me very expensive

Televisions have fallen in price a lot over the past 10 years, as have telephones. Thanks to the Chinese))).

Why didn't you take pictures of the prices you liked? Maybe we liked them too.

Before buying TVs in Egypt, compare the TV signal codes in Egypt and Ukraine and consult the workshop how much it will cost to change the codes.

I am tormented by vague doubts.
Prices for TVs are dictated not by the store, but by world brands, i.e. let's say Sony will not allow you to sell your TV in Egypt, even 20% cheaper than, for example, in Germany.
Therefore, what kind of TVs are there for which "I liked the prices" is a very big question. And definitely the idea of ​​​​carrying a telly is stupid, sorry.

AlexP45, thanks, I didn't even think about it, but I have an excuse, I'm a girl)))
kolyan_cat at that time the benefit seemed to me times in 2-2,5, for a long time did not look the prices in shops, and at first to get acquainted with the prices at home, and then to ask a question, so you that! I'm a fefachka) the funniest
аватар PolikSVT
It is better to take such things only at home!!! I'm talking about the guarantee, exchange and return. If anything.
аватар dima_80_
I think you should not bring such "exclusive" things from Egypt)
аватар Kapitanpereira
Local TVs there are self-made, of very poor quality. I do not advise. But if you want, you can carry it in your luggage - just pack it carefully in bubble wrap. It's for sale on Sherry Street. Well, take a check - just in case, if the customs asks something.
