When shipping from Atlanta to Manzanillo, consider the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November), as it may cause delays and require flexible routing. Confirm bookings well in advance during peak periods such as the North American Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and Back to School demand (late July-September) to avoid congestion. Prepare for winter storm disruptions (December-March) and build in buffer days to your transit times. Work closely with carriers for real-time updates and adjust lead times accordingly to mitigate potential delays.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Fragile” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but you must assemble the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and apply a top sheet or pallet cover if there is any risk of humidity or light rain during handling.
For small parcel shipments of low-value Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends adding cargo insurance. It can cover handling damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Stationery should be stored in clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain pallets off the floor on racking or pallets, avoid stacking beyond recommended heights to prevent crushing, and verify that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, prevent storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Shippers must provide a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary certificates of origin. Additionally, a bill of lading is required for ground transport, and shippers should ensure compliance with Mexican customs regulations for office supplies.
Office supplies should be securely packaged to prevent damage during transit. Items like stationery and office equipment may require cushioning materials to avoid breakage, especially when transported over long distances like the 2562 km from Atlanta to Manzanillo.
