Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and Mirrors, then place items in Double-walled cartons with Tight internal cushioning. Finally, conspicuously label all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the this side up orientation.

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 decorative items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but exporters should add Extra cushioning and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors Should be 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 moisture absorbers inside the packaging.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and home accessories typically Require a full commercial invoice, packing list, and customs classification for each product type.
