Expect tight capacity during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and the Christmas Retail Peak (October-December), securing vessel space well in advance.

Transporting moisture-sensitive Stationery demands Sealed inner protection. Most carriers recommend bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and placing desiccant packs for longer or ocean shipments. Always Choose 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 protective padding, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Delicate Equipment” and Avoid 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 lock 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 Stationery, 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, limit storage in areas with extreme temperature swings that could affect electronics or lubricants.
