If you properly pack your goods/items, which you want to ship, they will reach their destinations safely. Here are some tips on safe packaging:

• Surround each item with at least 3 inches of cushioning and place each item at least 3 inches away from the box walls.Use enough cushioning materials to ensure contents don’t move even when shaken during transportation.
• Use a new corrugated box, used boxes may not adequately protect your shipment . If you use a used box, make sure it is rigid and in excellent condition.
• Remove old address labels from previous shipments and hazardous materials labels.
• Packing, in most cases, will be the main protection (insurance) against shipment damage (unless new/ factory packed). All the insurance in the world won’t protect an improperly packaged shipment from damage. The main thing to remember is to use your best judgment when packaging an item for shipment.
• Crating, pallets and heavy gauge cardboard should be considered for delicate items. Heavier, tougher items (like a cast iron stove, for example) wouldn’t need to be packed so carefully, but mobility must still be kept in mind Selecting the range of packing supplies.
• Boxes should be filled to capacity to avoid them tipping. Use a wardrobe box for clothes to help them keep in shape. You will need protective wrap for your delicate belongings. Bubble wrap is the ideal way to protect your electrical items.
