When shipping from Manila to Yantian, consider the monsoon season (May-September) by adding buffer days to schedules and using waterproof coverings. During typhoon season (June-November), build in flexible port windows to manage potential delays. Expect increased congestion during peak export periods (July-October) and the Golden Week holiday (September 20-October 7), so book vessel space well in advance.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always book enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small desktop office equipment should ideally be shipped in the Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a heavy-duty box, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Delicate Equipment” and prevent stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of stationery and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Position heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure the load with Corner boards 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.
Stationery 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 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.
