When shipping from Guangzhou to Xiamen, expect delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and the Southeast Asia Monsoon Season (May-November), which can cause port congestion and slower cargo handling. Secure vessel space well in advance of the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) to avoid rollovers and account for potential disruptions during the Lunar New Year (late-January to mid-February). Additionally, allow for extra buffer days during the Western New Year period (December 20-January 5) and the peak export seasons (July-October) to ensure timely deliveries.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, using double-walled boxes, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and stuff all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should 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 edge protectors and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and add 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend 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.
Office materials 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 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.
