But you can also get online quotes from FedEx [fedex.com] and UPS [ups.com]
If you mail it out, you would for sure have to fill a customs form which might charge you or receiver for goods.
Last thing to keep in mind is the voltage and video format. Everyone that took the TV from here had to go through the hassle of finding a transformer for power. Secondly India runs on PAL and US on NTSC. Tata HD is the only one that I can think of that would give you the option to choose NTSC.
Keep these in mind before sending a TV.

iIF you fedex / ups you will pay hefty duty, calculated on India price and not the price you paid. Send it with a friend after using for 5-6 months, so that you can claim used house hold items and negotiate for a cheaper duty. if it is brand new, then duty is much less negotiable.

Not only is the TV heavy, but because of its size, they will charge you extra for it.
Anyway, from my experience from sending things to Asia, UPS was the most expensive, and FedEx and USPS both had its ups and downs. For small packets or documents, USPS was way cheaper with its flat rate shipping; however, for bigger shipments, it came out that the FedEx was cheaper. I've never sent anything as big as a TV though.
Good luck.
