Plan for potential disruptions due to the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm activity (August-October) and building in buffer days for weather-related delays. Anticipate extended transit times during the North Pacific Winter Storms (December-March) and secure vessel space well in advance during peak retail periods (October-December) to mitigate congestion. Work closely with carriers for dynamic routing options and maintain flexible booking windows to navigate the complexities of seasonal shipping effectively.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using rigid cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with edge protectors 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, We recommend adding cargo insurance. It can cover Moisture damage that standard carrier liability may not fully reimburse, especially for higher-value office equipment or large volumes of paper products.
Office products should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable 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 Ensure that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and any necessary customs declarations to comply with regulations between Panama and Mexico.
Seasonal considerations may include increased shipping volumes during back-to-school periods and potential weather-related disruptions during the rainy season in Central America.
