01 · PREPARE YOUR SHIPMENT

Pack it right before it moves.

Good shipping starts with preparation. Follow these steps to reduce damage, delays, address issues, and avoidable re-handling.

01

Choose strong packaging

Use a rigid outer box or suitable protective packaging. Avoid weak or previously damaged cartons for heavier parcels.

02

Protect the contents

Use internal cushioning and keep fragile items away from outer walls. Prevent movement inside the package.

03

Seal every edge

Use strong packing tape across all openings and seams. Avoid string or loose wrapping that may catch during handling.

04

Label clearly

Keep the shipping label flat, visible and unobstructed. Remove old barcodes before reusing packaging.

05

Verify the address

Confirm recipient name, mobile number, building, area, city, and any access instructions before booking.
