Shipping Furniture Sets from Port Klang to Ningbo via Ocean Freight

Moving furniture sets and Home decor demands Layered protection. Shippers should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then protect each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in reinforced boxes with secure internal cushioning.

Large or heavy framed decorative items are usually safer with 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 double-boxing and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and home accessories, You should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs inside the packaging.

Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.
