Shipping Wall Decor from Singapore to Rotterdam via Ocean Freight

Shipping furniture sets and decorative items necessitates multi-step packing. You should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use foam corners on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in Double-walled cartons with secure internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Glass – Do Not Stack” and indicate the top orientation.

Large or heavy Mirrors are usually safer with freight services than standard parcel, because freight permits palletization and stable handling. For small, well-padded home decor items under parcel size limits, You can use parcel carriers, but shippers should add reinforced packaging and insure for full value. Oversized glass furnishings are best crated and shipped on pallets to reduce conveyor and drop risks.

For moisture-sensitive Furniture and home accessories, shippers should use poly sheeting around each boxed or crated item, then add silica gel inside the packaging. In ocean containers, Avoid pallets directly against steel walls; instead, maintain a small air gap and use dry packs hung from lashing points. Choose sheltered loading bays so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value Furniture sets and decorative items typically need a full commercial invoice, packing list, and tariff codes for each product type.

This better ensures you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
