Use edge guards on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in custom crates with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and Upright handling.

Oversized wall decor panels Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and Home decor, shippers should use Sealed inner bags around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging.

Choose covered docks so Furniture sets are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and Home decor typically need a Commercial invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type.
