PACKAGING GUIDE.
TO ENSURE YOUR PARCEL ARRIVES SAFELY & ON TIME PLEASE FOLLOW THESE PACKAGING TIPS:-
- Choose the appropriate size container. Under filled boxes may collapse and overloaded boxes tend to burst.
- Use
sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes and if your item is valuable use
heavy duty double layered boxes for extra reinforcement.
- Try
to leave 5cm between the outer container and the item you are sending
and fill this space with cushioning material. You can use items
specifically made for this purpose such as bubble wrap, polystyrene
chippings or more common household items such as crumpled newspaper,
old clothing/towels/bedding.
- Wrap fragile items individually so they dont touch each other.
- Mark the outside of the container with arrows to show the right way up or fragile wear appropriate.
- Reinforce
packaging on gifts. The attractive packaging of many of these goods is
not appropriate for shipping on its own.
- Protect
edges, delicate obtruding parts or sharp items with extra packaging
such as cardboard. Fix this protective material securely so it can not
fall off during transit.
- We do not
recommend that you re-use boxes however if you do make sure it is in
good shape and not worn out or damaged. Remove any old labels and
stickers
