Use Professional-Grade Boxes

Use Proper Cushioning Materials

Distribute Weight Evenly

Keep the heavier goods at the bottom and lighter items on top of the box. It balances weight and prevents structural failure. Also, make sure not to exceed a weight of 50 lbs per box.

Remove Old Shipping Labels

Make sure to remove or black out all previous shipping labels and stickers before packing it. It prevents scanning errors and ensures that the box is not routed to the wrong destination.

Prepare Detailed Packing List

Clear Labeling

It is suggested to write the sender’s and recipients full names, addresses, and phone numbers in English clearly. Label it with the fragile sticker if the items are delicate to alert the handling team and avoid damage during transit.

The goods shipped from the US reached us in India safely. The packing boxes were beaten up though! The overall experience has been positive. Two areas of improvement I suggest: (1) Prompt status updates & prompt responses to our requests/questions (2) Delay in delivery (expected mid-August, reached on 8th Sep).
