For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive furnishings and Home decor, exporters should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging.
