Packing tips

Pack it once, pack it right

A well-packed parcel travels safely and avoids surprises with size or weight.

  • Use a sturdy box

    Choose a box with a little room around the contents. Reuse boxes only if they are still stiff and dry.

  • Fill the gaps

    Wrap fragile items and fill empty space with paper or bubble wrap, so nothing moves when you shake the box.

  • Remove old labels

    Cover or peel off old labels and barcodes, so the scanners only read your new label.

  • Seal and measure

    Tape every seam in an H shape. Check that weight and size match what you entered in your order.
