When shipping from Mundra, India to Xiamen, China, expect significant delays during the southwest monsoon season (June-September) due to port congestion and weather-related slow steaming. Build in at least 5-10 extra buffer days to your transit times and arrange priority berthing where possible. During the northeast monsoon (November-March), plan for rough seas and slower vessel speeds, and avoid critical sailings during peak periods (December-February). Additionally, consider potential disruptions during the Golden Week holiday (October 1-7) and Lunar New Year (late January to mid-February), ensuring to book vessel space well in advance.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands Sealed inner protection. We recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and Adding 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 Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in Bubble wrap, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Fragile” 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. Place heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and Stabilize the load with Corner boards and stretch wrap. Keep moisture-sensitive paper away from pallet edges and Use 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 Moisture 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 Ensure 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.
