Packing tips

How to make sure your shipment arrives safely — and the driver can take it without delay.

Well packed in four steps

  1. 1

    Choose a sturdy box

    Ideally a new double-wall box of the right size. Remove old labels and barcodes.

  2. 2

    Secure the contents

    Wrap each item separately and fill empty space with padding so nothing moves.

  3. 3

    Seal it carefully

    Tape all openings and edges with wide packing tape — no strings or loose straps outside.

  4. 4

    Label it clearly

    Write recipient and sender legibly on the largest side and keep the order number to hand.
