  1. Close and fold the parasol. Use a tie or Velcro to wrap around the canopy.

  3. Place the parasol in a cardboard box of the right size. Fill the space with cushioning materials.
  4. Shake the box to make sure the cantilever parasol doesn’t move inside the package. Seal the box with tape.
  5. Request an individual offer and our experts will send you a shipping quote for sending a long cantilever parasol internationally.

FAQs on how to ship an umbrella or parasol abroad

Where can I find an umbrella packaging box?

Whether you are selling umbrellas or shipping an umbrella to your friend, it is recommended to place it into a mailing tube of the proper size. You can buy such cylindrical or triangle tube mailer online or at the office supply stores.

Should I care about the umbrella packaging when shipping together with other belongings in a suitcase?
If you are sending the umbrella in a suitcase together with clothes, sheets, towels and other soft materials, you can ship the umbrella without a mailing tube. However, to protect the ribs and the handle during transportation, we recommend placing the umbrella in the original soft case or covering it with the layers of bubble wrap.
How can I send oil-paper umbrellas?
Oil-paper umbrellas and parasols are extremely fragile, so you should pack them carefully. We recommend placing the oil-paper parasols in a plastic bag to protect them from moisture and dust. Bubble wrap the items and follow the umbrella packaging guideline we prepared.
How much does it cost to send a large cantilever parasol abroad?

Usually, cantilever parasols exceed the size and weight suitable for shipping with the standard service. Request an individual offer and our experts will send you a shipping quote for sending long cantilever parasol internationally. If you wish to move other large items together with a cantilever parasol, you can use our van service and have your items safely delivered in the shortest time possible to the destination address.
