Shipping Furniture and decorative items demands careful preparation. You should knock down removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then Wrap each component separately. Use edge guards on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in reinforced boxes with snug internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark 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 vertical handling. For small, well-padded decorative items 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 Home decor, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add moisture absorbers inside the packaging.

Choose covered docks so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.
