Packing Advice and Guidance

free. One of the most important steps is preparing your parcel correctly so it arrives safely and clears customs without delays. Follow these simple steps before dropping off your parcel:

Step 1

Select a strong, durable box that can withstand long journeys and multiple handling points. Be sure to remove or cover any old labels or barcodes.

Step 2

Protect your items with internal packaging such as bubble wrap, air cushions, or packing peanuts. Fill any empty spaces to minimise movement and reduce the risk of breakages.

Step 3

Prepare your customs paperwork carefully. Place all required customs documents in a clear plastic wallet or pouch on the outside of your parcel, where they are easy to access.

Step 4

Seal your parcel securely with strong parcel tape. Attach your shipping label firmly, making sure the delivery address and barcode are clear and easy to scan.

Step 5

Add a simple distinguishing mark (like your initials or a small coloured sticker) to help identify your parcel if needed.

Step 6

Take a photo of your packaged parcel and label. This can be helpful in case of any queries during transit.
