How to get your parcel to its destination safely and securely


The truth is that when sending a parcel by a courier, the parcel is going to move around a lot. This will happen; not only in the collection and delivery vans but the parcel will be sort by machines in the hubs. These machines are similar to the baggage handling machines at an airport. This means that packing your parcel correctly is very important. Courier companies do take care when handling your parcel but we would always recommend that to be safe your parcel should be able to with stand a drop from three feet. Here are our top five tips for packing your parcel for delivery
  1. Please remember that due to the way parcels are sorted
    they cannot be kept upright.
  2. Please use a new sturdy box of the correct size.
  3. Please make sure the parcel contents cannot move around
    in the box by using loose fill and bubble wrap.
  4. Please secure your parcel with good quality parcel
    tape to make sure your parcel does not come open in transit.
  5. Please make sure you have addressed your parcel up
    correctly and attached any required paperwork.
