When shipping from Shanghai to Shekou, book vessel space and equipment well in advance, especially during peak periods like Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7). Prepare for terminal congestion and slower cargo handling during these holidays, so build in extra buffer days in your transit plans.

Communicate closely with local agents to manage container pick-up and ensure timely deliveries.

Moving moisture-sensitive office materials Requires protective wrapping. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in shrink wrap, using double-walled boxes, and Adding desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always select enclosed transport and avoid exposure to rain or damp storage areas.
Small office devices should ideally be shipped in the OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, Use a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and pack all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Clearly label the box as “Fragile” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but you must Build the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and lock 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 office materials, carrier default liability may be sufficient, but for bulk pallets or office equipment, our team recommends 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 clean, climate-moderated 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
