When you book your courier or parcel delivery services, you need to bear a few things in mind, to ensure safe delivery of you items. If you pack the item correctly you will have very few breakages.
* Choose the size of the packaging according to its content. Overloaded boxes may burst; under-filled boxes are likely to collapse.
* Whenever possible use high quality materials for your shipments. Things to consider with your wrapping supplies are strength, cushioning, and of course durability.
* If you can choose boxes made with corrugated cardboard, and good quality outer lining. Use heavy-duty double-layered board for your most valuable items.
* Make good use of cushioning materials, these can stop your items from moving. I can personally recommend popcorn. Seriously, cheap efficient, and packs it tight and leaves your item unable to move.
* Put fragile goods in the centre of a package; ensuring they don't touch the sides. If your item is well cushioned on all sides it has more chance of arriving in one piece.
* Liquids must be stored in leak-free containers, packed with a lightweight, strong, internal material- Styrofoam is a good choice, and sealed with a plastic bag. Remember that bad packaging may cause damage to surrounding items.
If an item is both fragile and valuable, then consider using a dedicated or express courier.
