Shipping Wall Decor from Sydney to Memphis via Ocean Freight

Moving furniture sets and decorative items demands Layered protection. You should take apart removable legs, shelves, and hardware, then cushion each component separately. Use edge guards on table tops, cabinets, and glass decorative items, then place items in custom crates with snug internal cushioning. Finally, clearly mark all packages as “Fragile” and indicate the Upright orientation.

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

For moisture-sensitive household furniture and home accessories, shippers should use plastic liners around each boxed or crated item, then add Desiccant packs 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 covered docks so decorative item boxes are not exposed to rain during loading.

International shipments of high-value household furniture and decorative items typically need a detailed invoice, packing list, and HS codes for each product type. You should clearly describe items (for example, “wooden furniture,” “glass mirrors,” “metal wall decor”) and state materials to avoid customs delays. For designer or branded home decor, verify if any brand documentation or COO documents are required by the destination country.

Standard carrier liability for furnishings and decorative items is usually based on weight, which often understates the actual value of designer pieces, wall decor, or premium Furniture sets. We recommend purchasing all-risk coverage for high-value or fragile shipments, and confirming that the policy includes breakage and moisture damage. This helps guarantee you can be compensated for the full replacement cost if items are damaged in transit.
