Although there are more and more courier companies, shipping parcels is problematic. What is more, it may be extremely high-cost. Usually it occurs when you want to transport freight abroad.

Getting ready for parcel transportation

Every load should be wrapped with caution. Careful packaging doesn’t take too much time and in addition ensures that your freight will remain in the same condition after the arrival. Don’t forget that this is your responsibility as a consumer to prepare a parcel for pick-up. However, you can hire a transport provider to do it on your behalf if you simply don’t have time to take care of that. Haulers have a lot experience and have learnt how to deal with all kinds of stuff.

A very popular way to deal with a load packaging is to use a cardboard. You can take cardboard found at home, if it is in good shape. You might also visit a local grocery shop to get some boxes for free. Shops usually get rid of cardboard anyway. Obviously, there is an option to purchase a packaging on the Internet or at a hardware store close by. 

If you are up to use an used cardboard, make sure that there are no texts written on it. You have to get rid of any information that could confuse a hauler and leave just information about the delivery.

The size of the packaging is supposed to be relatively similar to the size of your cargo. It is not smart to use larger packaging because then you ought to fill all the empty spaces inside. Otherwise, cargo could get destroyed. Obviously, you shouldn’t grab too small cardboard because your things can’t be squeezed inside. This could significantly destroy them.

Small or fragile things must be packed with extra care. Special treatment is required with china, ceramics as well as instruments or glass. Wrapping that kind of objects is important. The most popular way is to wrap them with bubble foil. Paper or textiles would work fine as well. As fillers you can use Styrofoam, some fabrics, wastepaper or bubble foil. You can also buy foam chips.

Finally, buy strong tape to secure the parcel for the last time. When it comes to parcels you shouldn’t use string due to the fact that it’s not as resistant as a tape. It might be too delicate so as a result it wouldn't protect your parcel.

If you have many packages to ship (for example during a house removal), sign each of the cardboards. It makes it easier to unpack things after the removal. It is also important to have information about which parcels contain fragile goods. You can put dedicated stickers on or simply write down the important data on boxes.
