How should I package my parcel?

Before you decide how to send a package you should ensure your parcels are packed well enough to be transported safely across long distances, potentially being passed through a range of vehicles and warehouses depending on where you are shipping to. 

• Use a sturdy, heavy-duty cardboard box to prevent any damage to the goods inside.

• If the items inside are fragile, make sure they are wrapped separately. Fill any spaces in the box with polystyrene chips. 

• Seal any openings of the box with layers of tape to ensure the box does not open.

• If you're re-using a cardboard box, ensure that ALL the old stickers and labels have been removed, particularly stickers relating to hazardous materials. Packages marked with hazmat stickers may be returned or destroyed.
