How do you ship it without breaking it?
SHIPPING FRAGILE ITEMS
Shipping fragile items starts with proper packing. Preparing glassware or other fragile items for shipping is a simple, straight-forward procedure.
We share these packing tips to help you get that item safely to your buyer!
There will always be a debate about what packing materials are best. There are many new materials on the market and inventive ways of using available materials. The keys to safe shipping are:
·Keep your item from shaking or shifting, i.e. there should be no movement in the box on shaking.
·Use materials that absorb vibrations AND impact!
·External materials/boxes must have the strength to hold the weight of your items. When in doubt, reinforce packing boxes.
Best practices for packing are balanced against package weight and shipping costs. As an organization, we advocate safe packing methods for the items we sell, but each seller is responsible for determining the best way to package and ship the items they sell. Here are some general standards we recommend:
·DO wrap items in a layer of paper, tissue etc. to keep from scratching the surfaces or decorative motifs. Do NOT wrap in newspaper!
·DO wrap the item in bubble wrap. Wrap not under or over but around it.
·DO tape items, to keep the protective material in place, but not to mummify. Too much tape may cause the receiver to damage the item when unpacking.
·DO double box, at least extremely fragile items.
·DO put at least 1.5″ of packing peanuts or other packing materials around item.
