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 Wall decor under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but shippers 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.

Standard carrier liability for Furniture and Home decor is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets.
