HOW TO SHIP
PACKING GUIDELINES
Follow these instructions for packing your shipping boxes safely when preparing boxed packaged goods:
Choose the right box
Corrugated cardboard boxes are the best choice when shipping internationally. The box should be slightly bigger than the item.
Internal cushioning
Insert foam padding and packing peanuts to fill up empty spaces inside the transporting box. This will prevent the contents from moving.
Seal the box
Apply at least three strips of tape evenly and cover all flaps and seams on the top and bottom. Use straps for larger boxes.
Attach the label
Remove old labels. Stick the label on a flat surface on top of the transporting box, so that the courier can scan the barcode easily.
Measure your boxes after you have packed them and use our size checker tool to see which type of service fits best for your shipment.
