Packaging & Handling

Common questions about packaging requirements and handling

What are the packaging requirements for shipments?
All items should be packaged in a sturdy box with appropriate cushioning material to protect the contents. The box should be sealed securely with packing tape on all seams. For fragile items, we recommend double-boxing with additional padding. Proper packaging is essential to ensure your items arrive safely.
Do you provide packaging materials?
Yes, we offer a range of packaging materials including boxes, envelopes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. These can be purchased at our shipping centers or ordered online. Business customers with regular shipping needs can request a supply of our branded packaging materials at discounted rates.
What is the maximum weight and size for packages?
For standard shipping, the maximum weight per package is 150 lbs (68 kg), and the maximum size is 165 inches (419 cm) in length and girth combined. For oversized or heavier items, we offer special freight services. Please contact our customer service for more information on shipping large or heavy items.
How should I package fragile items?
Fragile items require special attention. We recommend wrapping each item individually in bubble wrap or packing paper, then placing them in a box with at least 2 inches of cushioning material (such as packing peanuts or crumpled paper) on all sides. For extra protection, place this box inside a larger box with additional cushioning. Clearly mark the package as "FRAGILE" on all sides.
Are there any items that cannot be shipped?
Yes, there are restrictions on certain items for safety and legal reasons. Prohibited items include hazardous materials, flammable liquids, explosives, firearms, illegal substances, and perishable goods without proper arrangements. Please refer to our complete list of prohibited items on our website or contact customer service if you're unsure about a specific item.
