When shipping from Taipei to Ningbo, prepare for significant delays during the East Asia rainy season (May-October) and typhoon season (June-November), which can affect port operations and inland transport. Secure vessel space well in advance, especially before the Lunar New Year (mid-January to late-February) and Golden Week (October 1-7), to avoid congestion and capacity shortages. Allow for extra buffer days for transit times and coordinate closely with local agents to manage potential disruptions during these peak periods.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery necessitates Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using rigid cartons, 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 OEM packaging with molded inserts. If that is not available, create a Double-walled carton, wrap the unit in protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Prominently mark 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 must assemble the pallet carefully. Place 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, our team recommends 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 clean, climate-moderated areas away from direct sunlight and sources of moisture. Maintain 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
