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