Large or heavy Mirrors are usually more appropriate for freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings Should be crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.
