The contents of a parcel must be static whilst inside the packaging - to achieve this the space inside a box is filled with polystyrene, sawdust, cotton wool etc.
1. Fragile items are transported in hard cover only.
2. Liquids and other non-solids are kept in sealed containers, then placed inside packaging and marked CAUTION (these parcels carry 30% surcharge). Items, that produce colouring residue, are transported in sealed metal containers, those must not be sent in either plastic or fabric packaging.
3. Ensure secure packaging — the consignment must be packed in a sturdy cardboard box (preferably double-wall) with all necessary details and labels securely attached.
Items within factory packaging, as well as whole break-resistant items and those without sharp edges, can be sent without additional packaging.
