When shipping from Manila to Port Said, consider the monsoon season (May-September), which can cause heavy rainfall and port congestion; add buffer days to schedules. During peak typhoon activity (June-November), secure vessel space early and allow for flexible port windows. Expect delays during the Christmas retail peak (October-December) and the year-end inventory build (September-December); focus on accurate documentation and early bookings to mitigate congestion. Lastly, work closely with local agents during the Eid holidays (March-June) to manage operational slowdowns.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, and including desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark the box as “Handle With Care” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock the load with Corner boards 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 office materials, 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 materials should be stored in Dry, temperature-stable areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Store 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading, along with any necessary customs declarations specific to both the Philippines and Egypt.
