Moving Furniture and Home decor demands Layered protection. Shippers should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use Corner protectors on table tops, cabinets, and wall decor panels, then place items in reinforced boxes with snug internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the Upright orientation.
Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually Better suited to freight services than standard parcel, because freight Allows palletization and vertical handling. For small, well-padded Wall decor under parcel size limits, shippers can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized Mirrors are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.
For moisture-sensitive household furniture and Home decor, You should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging. In ocean containers, do not allow pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose Dry, indoor loading areas so home decor cartons are not exposed to rain during loading.
International shipments of high-value household furniture and Home decor typically Require a detailed invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type.

This Helps ensure you can claim the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
