Shipping Tips: How to Pack Your Box
4 Simple Steps to a Safe Delivery
We want your parcel to arrive in perfect condition. Follow these easy steps to get your box ready for travel.
1. Choose a Strong Box
Use a box that is strong and not damaged. If the box is old, make sure it is still sturdy.
Tip: Do not use boxes that are wet or have holes.
2. Protect Your Items
Wrap each item inside your box separately. Use bubble wrap, old newspapers, or soft foam.
Tip: Shake the box gently. If things move inside, add more paper or foam.
3. Use Strong Tape
Close all the edges of the box with strong brown or clear tape. Do not use string or glue, as these can break during shipping.
4. Label Your Box Clearly
Write the address clearly in big letters. Put a second copy of the address inside the box just in case the label on the outside gets damaged.
