To ensure the safety of your cargo and our staff, please keep in mind the weight of the box and limit it to 35kg.
We understand that not everything you wish to send is able to fit in a standard box. We send cargo in all shapes and sizes, so if you have specialty items such as furniture, flat packing, etc., we charge per cubic metre and weight.
Packaging your box
Packing your box correctly is super important. When shipping overseas, the cargo goes through various stages, a major one being through customs in another country. On occasion, random checking may happen and boxes will get moved around and checked by authorities. To ensure your cargo is received in the same condition as it was sent, it is important you pack mindfully to avoid any damage as we have no control over these circumstances. See below for guidance. As always, our in-house packaging team can assist with any packaging needs you may require.
HOW TO PACK:
- Ensure heaviest items are placed at the bottom of the box
- Bottles and items with nozzles or openings are taped shut
- Any fragile or high-value items are bubble-wrapped and taped (we can do this for you upon request for a small fee). Please notify us too.
- Boxes are durable and heavy-duty
- Boxes are taped well and secure
- Ensure all details are clearly written on the box (including BL/reference number)
- Do not over-pack and squeeze as this can cause items to break easily during checks and transit
- Include a packing slip inside the box to ensure all items have arrived. Click here for slip.
PROHIBITED ITEMS:
- Perishable items such as fresh produce and animal products
- Flammable, toxic, or explosive items
- Weapons
- Alcohol, tobacco, and illegal substances of any kind
If found, items will be confiscated, and the shipper will be prosecuted. If you are unsure, please let one of our staff know.
