In order to ensure that your shipment runs smoothly, we would like to give you some tips on how to prepare your parcel:
1 - The quality of the packaging is essential! To ensure the safety of your goods, we advise you to use new packaging.
2 - Fill in the gaps! It is important that the goods inside the packaging are stabilised. In order to fill potential voids in your packaging, you can use suitable materials (polystyrene, bubble wrap, etc.).
3 - Do not overload your parcel! An overloaded box can break. Make sure the weight is evenly distributed throughout the package.
4 - Protect fragile items with care! Wrap the most fragile objects in suitable materials (bubble wrap)
5 - Seal your parcel well! Use wide, specially designed tape.
6 - Remove all non-shipping labels from the packaging! If you are recycling a carton for a new shipment, it is advisable to remove any references or labels relating to a previous shipment.
7 - Print all the documents you receive via email for your shipment! The documents required for shipment (shipping label, commercial invoice and waybill) must be printed out before shipment. You can hand them over to the delivery person when you pick up the goods. The delivery person will take care of placing the documents on your package.
