Be mindful of the Atlantic Hurricane Season (June-November) by building in buffer days and flexible schedules to accommodate potential delays. Prepare for increased congestion during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), necessitating early bookings and additional buffer time. Confirm vessel space and trucking capacity well in advance, especially during critical periods like Black Friday and Cyber Monday (mid-November to early December) to avoid rollovers and delays.

Shipping moisture-sensitive office materials demands moisture barriers. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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, 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 “Fragile” and Avoid stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of Office products and light office equipment, but it is important to 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 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, 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. 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.
