Specific cargo packing suggestions
According to different items to you
We will do the following when packing:
(1) Make English shipping mark: Print the "case number and full name, telephone number and port of destination" on a piece of white paper as the shipping mark and stick it on the surface of the package, preferably on more than three sides, so as to distinguish it from other goods.
(2) Make a detailed list of all items in the box according to the serial number (electronic version) and print it out, can not be handwritten, must have the name and number of items (books and CDS to list the name, type, drugs and other sensitive items to list the name and use) :
(3) Record the length, width and height of each box to facilitate the calculation of the volume as a payment reference, and finally take the measurement volume of the shipping company as the basis for charging.
It should be noted that the size of the goods is calculated by multiplying the length, width and height. For irregular goods, it is calculated by multiplying the longest, widest and highest dimensions. The pallet height is 12-15cm, and the size is generally 100cm x 80cm and 100cm x 120cm. The length and width of the wooden box are generally 3-5cm larger than the actual size, and the height is about 13cm larger than the actual inch.
Therefore, when you choose wooden boxes and pallets for the safety of the goods, the size of the goods will also increase accordingly, and the shipping company's measurement and charges are for the volume after packaging, please note.

1. Electrical appliances, pianos, ceramics, handicrafts, antique furniture and other heavy or valuable, fragile items are packed in wooden cases, and packed with stuffing to prevent extrusion damage.
