Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Handle with Care” and indicate the this side up orientation.

Large or heavy glass wall decor are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and vertical handling.

Oversized Mirrors Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

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