Taking the right precautions when packaging your items helps avoid damage and ensures a smooth delivery experience.
Our top recommendations for packaging your goods safely:
Never use worn-out or weakened containers or boxes.
Always choose strong, high-quality wrapping and cushioning to protect your items.
Select packaging that’s sturdy and appropriate for the size, weight and fragility of your item.
If reusing boxes, make sure to take off any outdated shipping labels or stickers.
Use filler materials like bubble wrap, foam, or paper to keep items from shifting.
Surround delicate items with padding to absorb shocks from every direction.
Items like plates, glass panes or picture frames should be separated with protective inserts.
Use padded bags or wrap discs, tapes or other media in cushioning material.
Reinforce any pointed or sharp parts with thick, secure edge protection.
For higher-value deliveries, use heavy-duty, double-walled cardboard boxes.
Labels like “Fragile” or “Handle with Care” are helpful, but they don’t replace proper protective packaging.
Store your packaged goods in a clean, dry area while waiting for pick-up.
