How to prepare for shipping post
Non-Perishables
Non-perishable items, such as canned goods, dry food, or household supplies, should always be properly contained to avoid damage during transit.
Packaging: Ensure your non-perishables are securely placed in a sturdy box. If you don’t have a box, don’t worry—we’ll provide one for you. This step is crucial to protect your items from potential impacts and to keep them organized throughout the journey.
Clothing
Clothing items may seem straightforward to ship, but there are important guidelines to follow to avoid complications.
- Clothing Only: Make sure the parcel only contains clothing. Mixing other items like perfumes, skincare products, or accessories with clothing can lead to delays or issues at customs.
- Separate Packaging for Other Items: If you have other items to ship along with clothing, declare them separately and package them in distinct parcels. This helps in accurate processing and ensures that your clothing arrives in perfect condition.
Electronics
Electronics are often high-value items that require special attention to detail when preparing for shipment.
- Provide Receipts: Always include receipts or proof of purchase for electronics. This helps with customs clearance and protects you in case of any issues during transit.
- Voltage and Wattage Details: If your electronics are not in their original packaging, provide detailed information about their voltage and wattage. This is especially important for international shipments where electrical standards may differ. Accurate details help prevent damage and ensure compatibility upon arrival
