When shipping from Kaohsiung, Taiwan to Manzanillo, Mexico, be mindful of the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) by adding buffer days and securing flexible routing options. Expect congestion and slower operations during the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October), particularly in peak rainfall months (June-September). Additionally, reserve vessel space well in advance of the Christmas retail peak (October-December) to avoid tight capacity and delays. Collaborate closely with carriers for real-time updates to mitigate disruptions during these critical periods.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates protective wrapping. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in sealed plastic sleeves, 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 Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and stuff 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 Office products and light office equipment, but You should assemble the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize 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 loss and breakage 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 confirm that cartons of moisture-sensitive stationery are not placed near dock doors or damp walls. For office equipment, Avoid storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
