When shipping from Los Angeles to Callao, be mindful of the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November) by scheduling sailings outside peak storm months and allowing buffer days for potential delays. Expect increased congestion during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Back to School demand peak (late July-September), necessitating early bookings and flexible delivery windows. Additionally, consider potential delays during the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December) and the Western New Year holiday period (December 20-January 5) by securing vessel space well in advance and building in extra transit time.

Shipping moisture-sensitive Stationery Requires protective wrapping. We recommend 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 equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in Bubble 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 products and light office equipment, but You should Build 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 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 Stationery, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, We recommend Purchasing 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. Keep 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.
