When you're in the procedure of moving, or if you wish to send your parcels to customers and friends in an expeditious way, employing a courier service is an excellent way to go. Regardless of what your plans are, it's vital that you pack your item appropriately so as to avoid damage or loss. Often, when a package is damaged, it's realized in hindsight (in other terms, too late) that it could have been avoided. Whereas it is true that courier services will sometimes insure your freight (depending on what you are sending) it's still your responsibility to follow a few simple ways to ensure that your parcel, package, or pallet transitions from place A to place B smoothly.
Find a sturdy container, box or envelope for your item, one that is new and does not have any holes, dents, tears or worn out areas that can come apart simply on the road. Make sure that your item actually fits the container which you choose. A box or envelope that's too big may simply bump or collapse and damage your belongings, when a package that is too small, one that you have got to stuff your item into, might also tear or break open during delivery.
Employ bubble wrap liberally. Fragile items especially should fit comfortably into their delivery containers, and every item should be cautiously wrapped so as to protect your things. They must even be separated within the box, which suggests that it is not a worthy idea to wrap up two or three things (, wine glasses) simultaneously in the same sheet of bubble wrap or newspaper.
Every item must also be separated from the sides of the box. If the box is treated roughly at any purpose by the courier service, this will also work to prevent anything from breaking. Large items, or really heavy freight, should be packed as securely as possible, strapped or taped to a durable container.
Make sure you make full usage of your packing tape. Wrap and sell off all the open seams and strengthen the corners of the box as well. Be sure the box, envelope or other container cannot simply break open or tear, and that it's firm enough and packed in such a way as to prevent collapse. Consider printing your label and attaching it to the box for the sake of a legible address. If you have to write down your own label, but, carefully and legibly print the complete information concerning the destination of the package.
