Large or heavy Mirrors are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and decorative items, You should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging.
