When shipping from Laem Chabang to New Orleans, account for the Southeast Asia monsoon season (May-September) and expect port congestion and heavy rainfall, adding buffer days to schedules. During the Atlantic hurricane season (June-November), allow for flexible port windows to manage potential disruptions. Additionally, book vessel space well in advance during the holiday peaks (October-December) to avoid tight capacity and extended transit times. Collaborate closely with carriers for real-time updates, especially during critical shipping windows (November-December) to mitigate delays.

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials necessitates moisture barriers. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small Office equipment should ideally be shipped in the factory packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in protective padding, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but it is important to assemble the pallet carefully. Position 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, most logistics experts 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 products should be stored in cool, dry 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
