Packaging your Parcel
When it comes to shipping internationally, there’s a lot of process. By the time your package arrives in Italy, it will have changed hands – and trucks or planes – several times. A very small amount of parcels are damaged every year, but it does happen, so it’s very important to make sure that you have properly packaged your goods before they are shipped.
If you would like your goods to arrive in the same condition that they left in, there are three important things to keep in mind when packaging them:
1. THE BOX
A second-hand box may seem like a good deal, but any money you save could well be lost if it bursts in transit and your goods are lost or damaged. Buy new, and if the contents weigh more than 10kg, buy a double-lined box.
2. GET PACKING
Could your package survive being dropped from chest height? If you’ve packed it properly it should. Wrap every item individually, then place in your box with packing material in the gaps, so that there is at least 6cm between the box walls and your goods.
3. THE TAPE
Use strong parcel tape because it’s tape designed specifically for parcels. Wrap round your box three times in a Union Jack flag pattern, covering all joins and corners, and then secure your shipping label so that everything on it can be read by our courier.
