Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually Better suited to 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 You should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized wall decor panels are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.
