When shipping from Vancouver to Hong Kong via ocean, expect significant delays due to North Pacific winter storms (November-March) and Lunar New Year slowdowns (late-January to mid-February). Add buffer days to your schedules and secure vessel space well in advance, especially during peak periods (October-December). Monitor carriers for real-time updates on weather and congestion, particularly during typhoon season (June-November) and Christmas retail peak (November-December) to mitigate risks of rollovers and delays.

Moving moisture-sensitive Stationery demands protective wrapping. Our team recommends bundling paper and notebooks in Poly bags, using Dry, sturdy cartons, and including 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 Original manufacturer box with molded inserts. If that is not available, build a reinforced carton, wrap the unit in foam wrap, and Fill all voids with cushioning so the item cannot shift. Mark the box as “Handle With Care” and do not allow stacking heavy cartons on top.
You can palletize mixed loads of office materials and light office equipment, but You should create the pallet carefully. Load heavier cartons (e.g., copy paper, office equipment) at the bottom, lighter stationery on top, and secure 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 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 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 confirm 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.
Office supplies often require careful packaging to prevent damage during transit. Items should be securely packed to withstand the movements and vibrations of ocean freight, and moisture-resistant materials are recommended to protect against humidity during the journey.
Shipping office supplies from Vancouver to Hong Kong typically requires a commercial invoice, packing list, and any applicable customs declarations.
